In Towards Truth and Wisdom, Ajahn Sumano Bhikkhu, American-born Buddhist monk, speaks and answers questions directed to him by spiritual seekers from all over the world. The heartfelt questions of these "city" people and the clear, refreshing, and penetrating answers Sumano gave from his "forest" perspective form the basis of this remarkable book. The questions and answers were grouped into different chapters, such as: Turning to Spiritual Life, Questioning Your Way to the Truth, Managing the Mind, Skillful Relationships, Karma and Rebirth, Looking Death Squarely in the Eye. Although the nature of the questions varies, there is one constant theme shining through. It is that practicing mindfulness meditation in our everyday living is not just a novelty which is suitable only for a monk living alone in a mountain, but an urgent necessity for every human being, regardless of race, nationality, ideology or religion. Author: Ajahn Sumano Bhikkhu, born in Chicago, studied law and developed an entrepreneurial business before letting everything go and embarking on a spiritual journey more than thirty years ago. It eventually led him to a Buddhist monastery in England and to Wat Nong Pah pong in Warin Chumrahp near Ubonrachathani Province, Thailand, the seat of one of his teachers, the late Ajahn Chaa. For the past 19 years, Ajahn Sumano Bhikkhu has lived in solitude and serenity at his Double- Eyed Cave Retreat in the Khoao Yai mountains northeast of Bangkok.[br][br]His previous books includes Questions from the City, Answer from the forest; Meeting the Monkey Halfway; The Brightened mind; and numerous translations of dharma talks by the great Thai Thudong Buddhist masters, Ajahn Chaa, Ajahn Tate and Ajahn Poot.
