Mrs Jane Browne kindly donated several books from his library to BGKT’s library. Ajahn Pannavaddho was very important in the history of Buddhism in Britain, and BGKT is honoured to have his books in our library. Mrs Browne also sent a CD of his talks and one of his funeral. We are very grateful to her.
