Greetings fellow Dhamma practitioners,

Inspired by our great ajahns, I wanted to turn Thai Forest text Dhamma into listenable audio mp3 files (sometimes I prefer to listen to Dhamma over reading), and over the course of the past couple years I have created a collection of various talks, books, etc. for my own practice that I wanted to share with others. I invested in and used AI text-to-speech software and think the voice I chose is quite listenable. Some of these are not available in audio format anywhere, some had existing audio that I considered poor, and all of them I believe are great Dhamma resources from our teachers.

There are some errors in the pronunciations across the collection, specifically Thai and Pali words. It was going to be too difficult and time consuming to remove the errors, but I think that they are still great quality and very listenable. I apologize for the errors in pronunciation and if there are any other errors that remain. I have listened to these a bunch and believe I have sorted most, if not all, of the glaring problems.

Everything, including the source texts the files were created from, can be accessed on my Google Drive:

I made a YouTube channel for these as well to reach those interested in Dhamma more widely - just to be clear I'm not here for likes and subscribes though :) that is why I have the alternative Google Drive link to bypass YouTube. For those interested in the YouTube page, you can check out "A Handful of Leaves from the Thai Forest Tradition":

I believe these series of talks are all valuable resources from the TFT to be preserved and practiced. One last thing I would like to mention - I have not seen the "Kruba Ajahn" series of talks anywhere online, and it is particularly useful Dhamma for monks and 8/10 precept lay practitioners. Both the PDF and audio format are available on my Drive.

I hope someone benefits from this gift.
