Ajahn Maha Bua, who lived from 12 August 1913 to 30 January 2011, was a Thai Buddhist monk thought by many of his followers to be an arahant, someone who has attained full enlightenment. He was a disciple of the forest master Ajahn Mun Bhuridatta and was himself considered a master in the Thai Forest Tradition. Following the death of Ajahn Thate in 1994, he was considered the Ajahn Yai, or head monk, of the Thai Forest Tradition lineage until his own death in 2011.
