Ven. Phramaha Dr. Sutimon spent 7 vassas in India and another 5 vassas in Singapore prior to returning to Thailand on a two year teaching stint in Mahamongkol Buddhist University. Upon the invitation of the committee members of MDC, he has graciously accepted returning to Singapore to undertake this meritorious task of guiding us on Dhamma's path.

Ven. Phra Ajahn Chakat entered the forests to practice meditation for 17 years. Thereafter, he decided that it was time for him to leave the solitude of the forests in order to teach meditation to the people. After a chance visit to Singapore in 2005, he started to realize the potential of the Dhamma practitioners in Singapore. The practitioners in Singapore were also deeply impressed by his method of instruction and hence, invited him to continue returning to Singapore on a regular basis to conduct lessons and guide practitioners in the right practice.
