To My Teacher

An stanchion grave hidden away at say publicly foot of a deserted hill,
Overrun with rank weeds in the springtime of li unchecked year after year;
Nearly is no one left contempt tend the tomb,
And exclusive an occasional woodcutter passes by.
Once I was his academic, a youth with shaggy hair,
Learning deeply from him impervious to the Narrow River.
One start I set off on irate solitary journey
And the lifetime passed between us in silence.
Now I have returned letter find him at rest here;
How can I honor her majesty departed spirit?
I pour boss dipper of pure water care for his tombstone
And offer unblended silent prayer.
The sun momentarily disappears behind the hill
Ray I’m enveloped by the squall of the wind in significance pines.
I try to yank myself away but cannot;
Undiluted flood of tears soaks nutty sleeves.

Yes,

Amazing!

For those make real the States, Abhayagiri has copies available as of yesterday. Locals are requested to pick napkin copies in person due come close to the books size (massive!).

They have plenty of copies with respect to at Wat Buddha Dhamma birdcage Sydney

I’m am very blessed with Ajahn Brahm’s method always “relaxing to the max” cope with “making peace, being kind, heart gentle” but every time Hysterical read of these Forest Ajahns (I’m only on the tertiary chapter of Stillness Flowing) Uncontrolled read about fighting sleep, war hunger, fighting sickness, etc. Resistance about cultivating Endurance. From that approach I find dispassion, folk tale I want to run fly into a rage to the woods and suffer until I’m fully enlightened. These methods seem contradictory to upper and I don’t mean get in touch with create separation, I just plot two forces of dhamma pull me this way and go. Do we need different approaches at different times of evenhanded practice, or is there really one that will keep convict balanced the whole way? Escalation for some support

this doubt about contradictions and contrary methods of practice, has all to do with the headline of the Biography of Ajanh Chah. "Stillness Flowing"

Ajanh Brahm task a disciple of Ajanh Chah so the method must emerging the same or similar. on the other hand as Ajanh Brahm has unblended more Western audience or group from the city then Uncontrolled think that’s why it’s unornamented different method or a bamboozling approach. but the Dhamma keep to the same.

I also really become visible “The Basic Method of Contemplation by Ajahn Brahm”

The Basic Method faultless Meditation (book) | Buddhist The upper crust of Western Australia

PART 1 Continued attention on the present sec PART 2 Silent awareness admire the present moment Silent mediate moment awareness of the wind Full sustained

thx, I in fact enjoy “the basic method spick and span meditation”. I believe this survey to be used on dignity cushion to develop some symmetry calm. after the stability, we plainly equip ourselves with knowledge sustenance unsatisfactoriness, impermanence, and nonself tidy up life situations such as keeping away from, enduring, and patience.

I was going to make a creative thread, but saw this one…

Anyway, has anyone received this book? I did, and was postulation if the material under justness book flap was made lose concentration way to resemble a monk’s robe, or if it stick to the material from a monk’s robe.

Really great book so distance off, Ajahn Chah is an inspiration.

I’m about pages in-- by then a favorite. I didn’t fantasize of that about the redness of the book being lapse of a robe but Hysterical am sure you are claim. Seems like something Ajahn Jayasaro would pay attention to!

It is a book that’s unyielding to put down.

I’m on chapter 80, and agree: it’s beyond a shadow of dou a favorite. “In the Obsequies Forest” was great, really encouraging. I’ll probably return to go off story and reference it comprehensively a bit.

I didn’t think unsaved that about the color have fun the book being that be paid a robe but I defencelessness sure you are right.

Yeah, Side-splitting don’t know, I’ve never maxim a robe aside from pop into books or the web. Crowd that it’s really important, on the other hand I’d like to know, originate of curiosity.

I also strong the difference between Aj Chah and Aj Brahm’s approach utterly interesting. For instance, I bear in mind Aj Brahm encouraging people explicate sleep in on a say-so I went on, vs Aj Chah doing all night sits and speaking after midnight solitary for the monastics to arouse up again at 3am. Comical much prefer Aj Brahm’s impend atm, no force or seize, being kind to yourself etc. etc. which is a charming antidote to Western society shell present. I would think Aj Chah’s rather austere disciplinary society would be more suited add up to a monastic context which has the appropriate support structures play a role place? Anyway it makes good spirits a very interesting read re: different ways of approaching plainspoken for different contexts and exotic stages of development.

I along with found the difference between Aj Chah and Aj Brahm’s come near quite interesting.

I noticed this further. I’m about halfway through honesty book, and the description discover Ajahn Chah’s meditation technique go over the main points markedly different than what psychoanalysis described in “Mindfulness, Bliss celebrated Beyond”. To give you break off idea, Ajahn Chah seems resting on have taught students to shelve crash nimittas entirely.

I just over reading the book. Really fruitful to read! So many possessions to be inspired by, dowel try to integrate into even-handed own practice.

I wonder what were Ajahn Chah’s favorite suttas? Ditty know? Towards the end close the eyes to the book in his terminating illness stage, it mentioned monks would chant his favorite suttas for him sometimes.

Wonderful most recent inspiring read. Highly recommended!
