1 Citation Jump to Comments?Our moods lie to us constantly. We shouldn?t take this mind and its opinions as our guide, because it doesn?t know the truth.? - From A Taste of Freedom by Ven. Ajanh ChahThis is something that all mature adults realize at some point. Sometimes our mind tells us that we?ll be happy if we follow its compass of thoughts, feelings, and emotions.

1 Citation In Buddhism one thing that we can always be grateful for is the teacher.

This natural course of things is unstoppable: even scientific knowledge cannot prevent the inevitable. The forest ajahn also stated that even if we get a dentist to fix your teeth, they will eventually go their own natural way. With this in mind, an incident that happened this evening seems an important lesson in the Buddhadhamma ., technorati.com

1 Citation Q: If putting everything together in our bowls is important, why don?t you as a teacher do it yourself? Don?t you feel it is important for the teacher to set an example? A: Yes, it is true, a teacher should set an example for his disciples. I don?t mind that you criticize me. Ask whatever you wish. But it is important that you do not cling to the teacher.

1 Citation Chithurst and Amaravati monasteries have been central to my practice and my gratitude to Ajahn Chah and his Western lineage is not insignificant. Hence my joy in finding this two-part video on Youtube which was filmed in the late seventies when Luang Por Chah was in the UK. It tells an extraordinary story of the introduction of a traditional Theravadan form to an often bemused Sussex village. The content really is very good and is narrated in a classic oldschool BBC voice. And in the second p, technorati.com

1 Citation As I continue to meet people who are brand new to meditation practice, the question of which meditation practice to start with comes up often. I spent time practicing a few different methods before finding one that really works for me (which ended up being ?vipassana? or ?insight meditation?). There are so many different methods of awakening to choose from today, especially in the West, where all of the major religious and contemplative traditions are more or less easily accessible.
