	Profile: Forest Sangha (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Ajahn Chah was not only an important teacher for the founders of the Insight Meditation Society, a largely secularized group devoted to vipassana meditation, he also left a legacy of rigorous Theravada monasticism that is carried on in monasteries and their associated lay communities throughout the world.
		Ajahn Chah, born in 1918, met and was inspired by Ajahn Mun, one of the leaders of the revival.
		Two years later, Ajahn Chah traveled with Ajahn Sumedho to England at the behest of a group of students who hoped to establish a monastic sangha there, and not long after, Chithurst Buddhist Monastery (now known as Cittaviveka) was established, followed later by the larger Amaravati, in Hertfordshire.

		Ajahn Brahmavamso: Yes, we teach a resistance to anger, we teach a resistance to jealousies, we teach a resistance to stupidity.

	A Critical Analysis of Ajahn Brahm's "The Buddha’s discovery of Jhana..."
		Initially I wasn't going to critique Ajahn Brahm's assertion that the Buddha 'discovered' Jhana, as I felt it would detract from the more important issue of his assertions about the lack of sensory awareness within the lower Jhanas, and would require tracking down some rather obscure suttas.
		If Ajahn Brahm was relying on Bhikkhu Bodhi's translation alone, which I'm a bit surprised at, then I can see how he could make the statement "the Buddha discovered Jhana".
		Ajahn Brahm was citing this quote as some sort of proof that the Buddha asserted that he "discovered Jhana".

		On this endeavor, Ajahn Brahm's "Mindfulness Bliss and Beyond" is a clear-cut, logical and extremely useful map.
		Ajahn Brahm is certainly one of the most dynamic and charismatic Buddhist speakers nowadays.
		As Ajahn Chah used to say, there are many roads to enlightenment and achieving deep jhanas is but one possible portal; however, danger lurks if one gets attached to these blissful states or if one becomes too eager to experience them and depressed if one doesn't.
