What They're Saying
Critics Review
“Employing simple, precise language, his words convey his belief that liberation is possible for each of us through diligent effort and sincere intention.“—Tricycle
“Chah’s style of teaching Buddhism was informal and non-systematic; he was renowned for giving instructions in a way that an ‘uneducated rice farmer’ could understand. The talks in Being Dharma reflect Ajahn Chah’s fundamental orientation toward Buddhism as a way of life, rather than a set of rules or rituals.“— Shambhala Sun

He was an important influence and spiritual mentor for a generation of American Buddhist teachers.
