About the Author
Ajahn Amaro was born J. C. J. Horner in Tenterden, Kent, England, in 1956, the youngest of three children. At the time, his parents owned a small farm with several horses and dogs, growing apples and a few crops, and raising pigs and chickens. He began his monastic training in the forest monasteries of northeast Thailand with Ajahn Chah in 1978. He continued his training under Ajahn Sumedho, first at Chithurst Monastery in West Sussex, England, and later at Amaravati Buddhist Centre outside London. In June 1996, Ajahn Amaro moved to California to establish Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery, where he served as co-abbot for fourteen years. He returned to Amaravati in 2010 to take up the abbotship there.
