Ajahn Chah (1919-1992) was a beloved Thai Buddhist 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.
In Being Dharma, Ajahn Chah offers a thorough exploration of Theraveda Buddhism in a gentle, humorous style that makes us feel as though we are being entertained by a story. He emphasizes the path to freedom from emotional and psychological suffering and reminds us that by taking ourselves too seriously we cause unnecessary hardship for ourselves and other people.
