Summary

Renowned for the beauty and simplicity of his teachings, Ajahn Chah was Thailand's best-known meditation teacher. His charisma and wisdom influenced many American and European seekers, and helped shape the American Vipassana community.

This collection brings together for the first time Ajahn Chah's most powerful teachings, including those on meditation, liberation from suffering, calming the mind, enlightenment and the "living dhamma". Most of these talks have previously only been available in limited, private editions and the publication of Food for the Heart, therefore, represents a momentous occasion: the hugely increased accessibility of his words and wisdom.

Western teachers such as Ram Dass and Jack Kornfield have extolled Chah's teachings for years, and now listeners can experience them directly in this book.

Ajahn Chah was a much respected teacher from the very strict Forest Tradition preserved within the Theravada School of Thailand. Indeed, so profound and powerful was this Master's understanding that even his words recorded (and translated) in a book years after his physical death still 'shine' with a genuine spiritual light that deeply penetrates the mind of every person fortunate enough to encounter this text! How fortunate it is that Audible are permitting this manual of intricate mind development to be part of the 'Plus Catalogue' and 'free' for all members to access as and when they feel the need! Ajahn Chah did not tolerate the Dhamma being sold for money and would have approved of this arrangement!
