	A Tree in a Forest by Venerable Ajahn Chah - Dharmaweb
		Ajahn Chah was born in 1918 in a village located in the north-eastern part of Thailand.

		Ajahn Chah himself reminded us that the Buddha himself could only point out the way and could not do the practice for us, because the truth is something that cannot be put into words or given away.

	Buddhist Channel \| Buddhism News, Headlines \| Letters \| Ajahn Brahm on science: Jigsaw pieces at all the wrong places
		With due respect to Ajahn Brahmavamso and what he has written in "Buddhism, the only real science", I would like to make some pertinent comments; and my views also stand to being corrected if they are incorrect.
		It gives me the impression that Ajahn is trying to justify the real 'owner' of the word 'science' while at the same time trying to show that the word is so seemingly fraught with issues fundamentally.
		Ajahn has skilfully injected a view which is salient to the core of Buddhism - heart (ceto in Pali) and mind (mano in Pali); but which science has been trying to grapple with from the mid 20th Century until now but without any solid headway.

	Ajahn Sumedho Interviewed
		When Ajahn Sumedho ('Ajahn' is the Thai equivalent of the Pali/Sanskrit Achariya, or 'Master') came to the Insight Meditation Society in May of 1981, he conducted an eight-day work retreat.
		We chanted prayers every morning and evening, and I was rather surprised to see how the twenty-five participants (most of whom were new to meditation) so quickly and easily adapted to the bowing and ceremony that the two monks, Sumedho, and the young English monk, Sucitto, who accompanied him, asked them to perform.
		Ajahn Sumedho inspired the retreatants with his three daily impromptu talks, and casually spent his lunch hour and the one and one-half hour tea break willingly answering their questions about Dhamma practice and entertaining them with stories about monastic life in Thailand.

		One day Ajahn Chah came upon a large, heavy branch that was lying in his path and which he wanted to move out of the way.
		One of Ajahn Chah’s disciples was unplugging a tape recorder when he accidentally touched the metal prongs of the plug while it was still connected.

		After spending time with the Western monk Ajahn Amaro, one is left with the unique feeling of having been in the presence of a truly happy man, and one whose happiness is born of wisdom.
		Ajahn Chah would have us do periods of intensive practice, but we would still go out on alms round in the morning and there would always be work to do around the monastery.
		Ajahn Chah, or Luang Por as his disciples called him, possessed that uniquely beautiful quality of being: a quality visible only to a heart seeking The Way of Truth.

		This is a cultural art that Tan Ajahn expressed, both to remind Thais of their heritage in the face of the capitalist onslaught and to protect work from wage slavery.

		Ajahn Chah foresaw the necessity of establishing the Sangha in the West if long-term results were to be realized.
		At the very least there are the numerous anecdotes of the Venerable Ajahn's own practice which abound throughout the book; these can be read simply as biographical material or as instruction for mind training.
