Description: Buddhist master Achaan Chah spent years meditating in a forest monastery of Thailand. This remarkable book reflects his simple and powerful message as well as the quiet, joyful Buddhist practice of dhudanga, or "everyday mindfulness," with profound insights for the West.
Brief description:
Ajahn Chah (1918-1992) was part of a movement to establish simple monastic communities in the remote forests of Thailand. At this date, over one hundred forest monasteries have been established that look to his teaching as their inspiration. Ajahn Chah's simple yet profound style of teaching has a special appeal to Westerners. In 1979, the first of several branch monasteries in the West was established in England, and there are now more than ten monasteries in the United States, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand.
Review Quotes: "The simple powerful teachings which Achaan Chah expresses so well has profoundly affected our practice and our way of working with others." -Stephen Levine, author of Who Dies?-- "Reviews"
