Ajahn Sujato (Anthony Best) is an Australian Buddhist Monk.

As a member of Marthas Vineyard he enjoyed success with a single titled Old Beach Road

In 1994 he left his music career to take higher ordination in Thailand in the forest lineage of Ajahn Chah. As well as living for several years in forest monasteries and remote hermitages in Thailand, he spent three years in Bodhinyana Monastery (Perth) as secretary of Ajahn Brahmavamso, and over a year in a cave in Malaysia.

He has combined his love of meditation with study of the Buddha's Teachings, and in 2001 published his first book, "A Swift Pair of Messengers", a compilation of Sutta passages on the theme of tranquillity and insight.

He is now abbot at Santi Forest Monastery, Bundanoon.
