Sulak Sivaraksa (born 1933 in Thailand) is the initiator of several social, humanitarian, ecological and spiritual movements and other non-government organizations in Thailand. He is known as one of the fathers of the "International Network of Engaged Buddhists" (INEB), which was established in 1989 with leading Buddhists including the 14th Dalai Lama as its patrons.

He was exiled more than once from Thailand and was arrested in 1984 for lèse majesty. Thanks to an international storm of protest, he was shortly released. Sivaraksa was again charged with lèse majeste in September 1991 after a talk about the repression of democracy in Thailand. He fled the county and went againn into exile until he was able to convince the courts of his innocence in 1995.
Sivaraksa won the Right Livelihood Award for his vision, activity and spiritual engagement in finding a way for development which is based on democracy, justice and cultural integrity.
