Don't Take Your Life Personally

From Goodreads.

Sumedho is one of the great teachers of modern time. He is able to take the complexities of Buddhist doctrine and simplify them with clarity and precision such that they become not only readily accessible but applicable to daily life by mere mortals such as I. Not only did I find this series of published talks really informative and clarifying to my own practice but also full of the spirit of encouragement. It is so easy to get lost at times and Sumedho points the way through those times. An outstanding pice of work.

Fantastic book that covers Luang Por (Ajahn Sumedho)’s teachings. It has helped me in more ways than one in surviving my first year as a monk in a Korean Zen Buddhist monastery which has been the most difficult thing I’ve ever done. It is also a great reference for those living in the layworld as well as his teachings can be applied to any daily situation.

Ajahn Sumedho in a simple direct way makes one understand the core of the Buddha’s teachings. He makes it so simple and yet his words are so profound and transformative. I have read this book many many times over the years . I reach out to his words often. They have been my guiding light.
