Achaan Chah spent many years walking and meditating in the forest
monastery of Wat Ba Pong, engaging in the uncomplicated and disciplined
Buddhist practice called dhudanga. A Still Forest Pool reflects the
quiet, intensive, and joyous practice of the forest monks of Thailand.
Achaan Chah's humble words, compiled by two Westerners who are former
ordained monks, awaken the spirit of inquiry, wonderment, understanding,
and deep inner peace.
Attachment, according to Achaan Chah, causes all suffering.
Understanding the impermanent, insecure, and selfless nature of life is
the message he offers for human happiness and realization. To vividly
grasp the meaning of attachment leads us to a new place of practice -
the path of balance, the Middle Path.
