Lineage Stories with Kittisaro, Thanissara and Yong Oh
This is an online annual series of Fall, Winter and Spring Lineage Story Circles, spanning the next 3 (or more) years.
This program was recorded live on January 23, 2025.
Welcome friends.
Five sanghas from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta have come together to create this special lineage story series. Read more about us. And, we are delighted to be partnering with IMS Online to bring this to the wider sangha. We offer a warm prairie welcome to all practitioners!
Our vision is to have our teachers share stories about their teachers, to honour our gratitude to the Asian roots of the practice; to give a sense of these teachings being handed down, generation to generation; and to give current practitioners a sense of carrying this precious gift forward.
Our collective practice is primarily rooted in the Burmese and Thai Forest lineages through Mahasi Sayadaw and Ajahn Mun, and, is also influenced by many other traditions. We will build a virtual lineage image as we go along, to create a visual sense of our practice and its roots.
During this session, these beloved teachers shared stories of their beloved teachers from the Theravada Thai Forest Tradition as well as exploring how the Theravada and Mahayana traditions balance and support one another. This session also explored how our lineage and practice support wise and strong action in our world for climate, peace, and social justice.
