Preface

It was in the spring of 1972 that I first visited a Northern Thai monastery: a rural wat, some 3km from Lamphun Municipality. I was surprised by what I saw: a good dozen elderl men clad in faded and worn out blue cotton shirts, their sunburnt faces laughing, some puffing sweet smelling clouds out of their long green khinoo cigars, sitting on mats surrounded by hundreds of plam-leaf manuscripts, undoing their wrappings, reading a little bit of this, a little bit of that, chatting and exchanging views about their favourite stories.
