Once there was a layman who came to Ajahn Chah and asked him who Ajahn Chah was. Ajahn Chah, seeing that the spiritual development of the individual was not very advanced, point to himself and said," This , this is Ajahn Chah." On another occasion, someone else asked Ajahn Chah the same question. This time, however, seeing that the questioner's capacity to understand the Dhamma was higher, Ajahn Chah answered by saying ,"Ajahn Chan? There is No Ajahn Chah." The quotations in this collection have been taken from Bodhinyana, A taste of freedom, As still Forest Pool, Samadhibhavana, Seeing the Way, Living Dhamma, Food for the heart, and Venerable Father, A life with Ajahn Chah. Some quotations come from a personal collection hitherto unpublished. | ||
