This document provides background information about the Thai Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah. It describes his upbringing in rural Thailand and early ordination as a monk. It details his quest to find a deeper understanding of Buddhism, which led him to study under the renowned meditation master Ajahn Mun. Ajahn Chah went on to establish the forest monastery Wat Nong Pah Pong, where he taught meditation to large numbers of monks and laypeople until declining health forced him into silence. He passed away in 1992, leaving a legacy of monasteries practicing in the Thai Forest tradition.
This document is a summary of a Dhammatalk given by Venerable Luang Por Liem Thitadhammo after a ceremony of asking forgiveness. It contains the following key points:
1) The ceremony helps strengthen virtues and establish respectful conduct, which leads to peacefulness through sincere effort.
2) In the beginning of practice, we are like children living in darkness and experiencing both happiness and suffering as we have "dust in our eyes".
3) Within each person are seeds of goodness that can be nurtured so our virtues shine through, just as flames emerge from darkness. We must accept ourselves as works in progress.
Luang Por Liem provides Dhamma teachings from his visit to Australia in 2004. He discusses the need for gradual practice and adaptation. He explains that dukkha comes from both the body and mind, with mental dukkha arising from craving and wrong view. He notes that the constituents of life simply fall apart over time, leaving nothing that truly belongs to us. He compares the impermanence of life to melting snow. He describes the mind as a manifestation of mental phenomena that needs development and purification. With skillful development, the mind can become a beneficial resource.
The document is a speech given by Pra Rachapavanavigrom (Luang Por Liem Tâ„hitadhammo), the Abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong, Ubon Rajathani, Thailand, at a conference of the Australian Sangha Association in 2006. The speech encourages following the footsteps of enlightened beings and practicing in accordance with their teachings in order to progress along the Buddhist path. It emphasizes practicing with wisdom, compassion, moderation, and learning from past masters.
