About this listen

Renowned for the beauty and simplicity of his teachings, Ajahn Chah was Thailand's best-known meditation teacher. His charisma and wisdom influenced many American and European seekers, and helped shape the American Vipassana community.

This collection brings together for the first time Ajahn Chah's most powerful teachings, including those on meditation, liberation from suffering, calming the mind, enlightenment and the "living dhamma". Most of these talks have previously only been available in limited, private editions and the publication of Food for the Heart, therefore, represents a momentous occasion: the hugely increased accessibility of his words and wisdom.

Western teachers such as Ram Dass and Jack Kornfield have extolled Chah's teachings for years, and now listeners can experience them directly in this book.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this collection of teachings by Ajahn Chah. I’m new in my understanding of dhamma, and the use of metaphors and humour in these teachings have really helped to clarify many aspects and questions for me. A wealth of knowledge and insight which I will listen to again and again.

I believe the level of insight that this book provides may be aligned with one's level of dilusion - I found it very insightful. Mindfullness and meditation.
