Dr. Menn Memorial<br />

But in keeping the balance, it should be known that Dr. Menn was also a<br />

consummate cook, a lover of good food and wine, and in the right company<br />

would happily sing and chat through the night - and well into the next day.<br />

Everything about him was larger than life.<br />

His friends, associates and colleagues quite literally spanned the world but<br />

most significantly he was a noble son of Nakhon si Thammarat, now a city,<br />

once a Kingdom. Well versed in the local culture and dialect, raised in a family<br />

with a lineage that included both southern kings and local farmers, he was<br />

most at home in the ancient bustling city of his birth - and even more so in<br />

the surrounding hills and forests of the vast Khao Luang National Park, the<br />

splendid mountains that dominates Nakhon’s skyline.<br />

For the future, he was planning to become a monk at Wat Phu Khao Lak, set<br />

in the mountains and forests of Khao Lak, under the guidance of his beloved<br />

teacher, the Venerable Ajan Pop.<br />

It is there that he felt most at peace and it is there that many of us believe<br />

his Spirit now resides, eternally at ease with Nature and the ancient eternal<br />

lineages of Buddhadharma.<br />

He is survived by his much loved mother Khun Ouyporn, sister Meh, brother<br />

Max, a grand extended family and a galaxy of friends.<br />

We all miss him deeply.<br />
