Ajahn Chah was a beloved Thai master whose teachings were refreshingly uncompromising in their clarity and certainty - the certainty of a practitioner who has achieved a deep understanding of the Buddha`s teachings. He influenced a generation of Western teachers including Ajahn Sumedho and Jack Kornfield.
In Being Dharma, Ajahn Chah gives a straightforward and accessible explication of the Buddhist path. He emphasises how we can free ourselves from emotional and psychological pain, offering practival help and encouragement and pointing out how unnecessary suffering is brought on oneself through taking oneself too seriously.
