09 Mind Reading
high-definition creative commons posters depicting Mind Reading from The Life of Ajahn Mun together with further information.
Ajahn Mun’s compassion led him to read an elderly monk’s mind, revealing constant thoughts of family. His pointed questioning so shamed the monk that he fled the monastery. Realizing his directness caused harm, Ajahn Mun resolved thereafter to allude indirectly to people’s thoughts rather than confronting them, recognizing minds are like toddlers learning to walk and need gentle guidance, not shock.
