Biography of "Luang Pu Buaket"

Luang Pu Buaket, born Buaket Kitsuphapsirikul, was born on 31 May 1934 in Ban Suan, Na Kluea Subdistrict, Bang Lamung District, Chonburi. He was a highly respected senior monk among his disciples. He undertook ascetic wandering in many places across the eastern, northeastern, and predominantly northern regions.

As a result, he resigned from being abbot of Wat Chong Lom Na Kluea and the subdistrict ecclesiastical chief to fully devote himself to practice. This enabled him to master both Samatha and Vipassana meditation, allowing him to guide, teach, and lead practitioners in reducing, abandoning, and giving up defilements.
