The Forest Hermitage

Luang Por Khemadhammo’s life story

On Sunday 18 October a group of current and ex-Warwick University students recorded Luangpor talking about his life. Where did he begin? With his birth. What follows that is an account of his life, including who he has known (Laurence Olivier, the Beatles and of course Ajahn Chah, to name a few); and his journey from an orthodox Christian upbringing, to London, rebellion and acting, to meditation, to a retreat that changed his life, to the monasteries of Northeast Thailand, to returning to the UK, to founding Angulimala and the Forest Hermitage, to his life and practice since. Not many autobiographies can match this one.
