The present thesis is a study of the meditation technique known as “Dynamic Meditation”. Originated by Luangpor Teean Jittasubho when he was a layperson, the technique is a unique vipassanà practice involving rhythmic hand and arm movements without accompanying recitations. Unable to read or write Thai and without formal knowledge of the Buddhist Canon or the Pali language, Luangpor Teean, born Phan Inthaphieu, achieved the end of suffering with the technique then instructed others. The technique has spread throughout Thailand and abroad. Twenty years after his death, the technique continues to be practiced by many throughout the world. Luangpor Teean maintained that his technique was in accordance with the Satipaññhànasutta and dared to guarantee results for those who practice rightly and continuously. Everyone, he proclaimed has the innate capability to achieve Nibbàna and Dynamic Meditation is a shortcut.
This study is an analytical study of Dynamic Meditation elucidating and making explicit the concepts, theory, and practice of Luangpor Teean’s teachings, and the results of following his instructions. The hope is to answer the question: to what extent is Luangpor Teean’s teaching and technique consistent with the teaching of the Buddha, and in particular with satipaññhàna meditation as described in the Nikàyas? Satipaññhàna meditation is taken to be the fundamental meditation instruction for going beyond dukkha. That, in turn requires that we develop a good understanding of satipaññhàna meditation, both in method and purpose. I take the Mahàsatipaññhànasutta as the decisive text in developing that understanding. A second, related question is: to what extent can Luangpor Teean’s teachings be situated within the Theravàda tradition, and to what extent to those teachings diverge? In other words: are these teachings orthodox?
