Ajahn Siripanno

Ajahn Siripanno is the only son of Malaysian Tycoon, Tan Sri Ananda Krishnan, who is the second richest man in Malaysia, behind Robert Kuok.

When Ajahn Siripanno first arrived at Ajahn Chah's forest retreat, he wondered why a revered monk like Ajahn Chah also had to suffer sickness in his old age.  He shared his thoughts with a senior monk, who replied with a smile: “Why do you think he is suffering?”
