Healing Meditation Techniques of Selected Thai Meditation Master

Ellen Frances Gervasi

 

Abstract

 

This article examines the meditation instructions and other information relevant to health and healing given by three Buddhist masters of Thailand: the late Venerable Ajahn Lee Dhammadharo, the late Venerable Buddhadasa Bhikkhu, and Venerable Ajahn Damrong. Despite some differences in their methods, all three teachers advocate intentionally adjusting the length of the breath and using the long breath for enhancing physical health, which in turn supports meditation and mental health.
