| Dear Friends,
This month marks the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Ajahn Chah, one of the most influential Theravadan masters of the 20th Century from the Thai Forest tradition.
Ajahn Chah was the primary teacher of Jack Kornfield, Ajahn Sumedho and Ajahn Amaro and Ajahn Passano. I had the good fortune of being with him in Thailand in the 70's as well. Along with Mahasi Sayadaw of Burma, Ajahn Chah's teaching is the main influence on the Dharma as presented at Spirit Rock, where his 100th birthday was just celebrated this past week.
I thought I'd share "The Teachings of Ajahn Chah" and his approach to practice this week--at once deep, wise, down to earth, humorous and fierce. |

| After first naming some of the challenging bodily, emotional, and mental experiences that arise in a human life, and particularly in the context of aging and dying, we explore the different “tools” for responding skillfully to these challenges, including clarity of intention, accessing the intensity of the experience and coming back to balance after overwhelm, mindfulness, body practices, heart practices, and wisdom perspectives. |
