Ajahn Maha Dton Dhirapanno, also known as Dhirapanno Bhikkhu or Phra Maha Keyrati Srivuthana, is a respected Thai Forest Tradition teacher born in Chonburi, Thailand, in 1967.

After completing his medical education in Thailand, Ajahn Dton pursued advanced studies in paediatrics at the American Board of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Michigan under a scholarship provided by the Thai government from 1994 to 1997. During this period, he was recognized for his dedication and warmth, earning him the Best of Hospitality award.

Following the completion of his PhD, Ajahn Dton embarked on a meditation retreat in the United States under the guidance of Ajahn Jayasaro, the abbot of Wat Pah Nanachat. It was during this retreat that Ajahn Dton, then still a layperson, discovered the fulfillment he sought in the monastic life.

Returning to Thailand, Ajahn Dton took his monastic vows at Wat Pah Nanachat. His commitment and diligence led him to complete an advanced Buddhist course, earning him the distinguished title of "Maha," signifying proficiency in Grade 3 Pali studies.

Currently, Ajahn Maha Dton Dhirapanno serves as a Buddhist adviser and meditation instructor for hospitals, government departments, and schools in the vicinity of Wat Pah Bun Lom. He is also the co-abbot of Wat Pah Boon Lorm in Ubon, Thailand, and has conducted Dhamma talks and retreats both in Thailand and internationally.

As a visiting monastic at the Bandar Utama Buddhist Society (BUBS), Ajahn Dton continues to share his wisdom and insights with our community, inspiring us on our path towards spiritual growth and living compassionately.
