AJAHN X DHANIYO | The Dying Man with 4 Wives | Buddhist Story | Dhammagiri

Dhammagiri Buddhist Podcasts

At the Robe Offering Ceremony at Dhammagiri Forest Hermitage, Ajahn X Dhaniyo relates a powerful Buddhist simile:

A man with 4 wifes is about to die. He gets a chance to talk to his four wifes a last time, but is bitterly disappointed about how they react to his impending death; except for the fourth wife, the one he loved least and showed the least affection...

Ajahn X (Phra Suthanai Dhaniyo) has been a monk for 22 years, and has lived and trained for 16 years with Luang Por Liem at Wat Nong Pah Pong, Ajahn Chah's original monastery. Currently he resides at Bodhisaddha Monastery, Wilton near Sydney.

He visited us together with Ajahn Saalii Sujīvo specially for our robe offering ceremony, and kindly agreed to give a Dhamma talk in English for the occasion, part of which contained the simile of the four wives.
