AbstractAjahn Chah was admired for the way he demystified the Buddhist teachings, presenting them in a remarkably simple and down-to-earth style for people of any background. This book offers powerful remedies for overcoming our deep-seated fear of change, including guidance on letting go of attachments, living in the present, and taking up the practice of meditation. Translator Paul Breiter has also included anecdotes about Ajahn Chah's life and his interactions with students, from his youth as a struggling monk to his last years, when American students were coming to study with him in numbers. These stories convey Ajahn Chah's unique spirit and teaching style, bringing him alive for us both through his words and through the way he lived his life.
