Looking to learn in thai forest tradition
Hi all. Im new to dhammawheel but not to the dhamma. Im looking to learn from a qualified teacher in the thai forest tradition. Ideally one id be able to interact with and ask questions from time to time. Im in the US. Travels not impossible but with covid I dont know of places accepting visitors. How would one go about doing this? Online would be fine as long as I could make a real connection with a teacher.

Re: Looking to learn in thai forest tradition
there is no unified doctrine or teachings known as the "thai forest tradition"
There is always an official executioner. If you try to take his place, It is like trying to be a master carpenter and cutting wood. If you try to cut wood like a master carpenter, you will only hurt your hand.
