About this listen

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.

This book is a wonderful compilation of teachings on dhamma and vipassana (insight meditation) of a great vipassana master of Thailand, Ajahn Chah. Jack Kornfield, one of his very first western disciples, admirably maintains Ajahn Chah's teaching style by preserving his teaching tone in plain language with intelligible similes and metaphors. Ajahn Chah's thought-provoking teachings, enlightening quotes, eye-opening stories, intelligible similes and metaphors, and Jack's direct experiences are flawlessly composed in this book.

It is one of my most enjoyable dhamma books. I have read and listened to many of Ajahn Chah teachings for years but I found this book is very well organised and easy to understand with lots of his remarkable teachings. So many teachings in this book also reflect the Buddhist perspective on some of problems in lay life and how to handle them in Buddhist way.

Overall, this delightful little book greatly reflects Ajahn Chah's teachings and interesting forest monk practices which will help the listeners to truly understand the insight meditation. This book suites readers with any level of Buddhism and meditation experience. It is also a good reading for anyone who begin to learn about Theravada Buddhist Forest Tradition and Vipassana Meditation.

Great inspiring and eye-opening book.
