Starting article

  • I am starting this article because I saw interesting articles on significant Theravadan Buddhist teachers. It is my POV that Ajahn Brahm is a significant contemporary Buddhist teacher, not only in the context of the Thai forest tradition and disciples of Ajahn Chah (I note that no one has added Ajahn Sumedho yet) but in the context of Buddhism as the fastest growing religion in Australia. Yes, I own up to being a big fan of Ajahn Brahm, and perhaps my contribution to this article is sycophantic, but I think that those who are familiar with Buddhism in this part of the world will also have to acknowledge the contribution and respect with which he is widely held - even if they don't like his jokes! ;) People with other points of view are welcome to contribute.

The link to buddhist society of victoria is wrong. It should be www.bsv.net.au, not www.bsv.net Thanks for starting this page Solasaurus. As a newbie to Buddhism Ajahn Brahm's talks are helpful to me. His jokes are bad but the information is good! 65.12.135.63 12:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Notable

This is the bio of a religious leader, and apparently a genuinely influential one. There is media coverage, so its V, and he is sufficiently N. I remove the tag.DGG 06:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Removal of COI tag

After careful review of the Wikipedia conflict of interest guidelines, I have removed the Conflict of Interest tag as there does not appear to exist any COI. Jim Christensen 13:11, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Assessment comment

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Ajahn Brahm/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

The birth place for Ajahn Brahm is shown as Australia when it states in the article that he was born in London, United kingdom. This should be changed to London, UK.
