The Collected Teachings of Ajahn Chah was published in 2012. This is the complete collection of talks by Ajahn Chah that have been translated into English. During the Winter of 2012, Ajahn Amaro has given a daily reading which are recorded as audio files.What is collected here is the 'rough-hewn' edit of these readings. These talks are being made available here as a stop-gap, until the final version is ready. A final version of these readings, including the Q&A, is still under preparation and will be published, hopefully, in the near future.
Chah Subhaddo (Thai: ชา สุภัทโท, alternatively Achaan Chah, occasionally with honorific titles Luang Por and Phra) or in honorific name "Phra Bodhiñāṇathera" (Thai: พระโพธิญาณเถร, Chao Khun Bodhinyana Thera;[2] 17 June 1918 - 16 January 1992) was a Thai Buddhist monk. He was an influential teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition.
Respected and loved in his own country as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West. Beginning in 1979 with the founding of Cittaviveka (commonly known as Chithurst Buddhist Monastery) in the United Kingdom, the Forest Tradition of Ajahn Chah has spread throughout Europe, the United States and the British Commonwealth. The dhamma talks of Ajahn Chah have been recorded, transcribed and translated into several languages.
More than one million people, including the Thai royal family, attended Ajahn Chah's funeral in January 1993 held a year after his death due to the "hundreds of thousands of people expected to attend". He left behind a legacy of dhamma talks, students, and monasteries.

Buddhism to me is so deep in a good way... Its hard to explain but so simple... This teaching is really deep...

[@onthenatureofthispaleblued4287]

What an enlighting essay ... so in budhism one does not wish for all beings to be happy ... which I was tought Since happiness comes forth from attachment and in the end leads to suffering since all things come to an end. Will listen to rest of essays now ... Im suffering a lot lately and wish it to end ... I sort of know the cause of my suffering but its so hard to let go ... so Ive ran away mostly, I try to confront it now in my mind and convince myself this is the cause of my suffering.

Yes buddhism is truly the only religion where we care about everyone's suffering. Which is why everyone is encouraged to understand Dukhha and overcome it

Just gonna leave this here - Antinatalism -

[@FrankColesMadeEasy]

Things just arise and pass yes but asserting the poor translation of dukkha = suffering, and that all is suffering kinda misses the point, makes a big thing of suffering, even creates suffering in the listener. All is dukkha = stuff happening, tanha is the clinging to this that creates more clinging. It's the recursive function of the mind's verbalised alert system. Watch dukkha arise. Accept it any tanha and move the hell on. It won't have power over you.

Kevin Davis You can check out Thanissaro bhikku and his website dhammatalks.org There you can read the pali cannon for yourself to see what the buddha actually said. Its been most helpful in my studies of buddhism. And yes i know this is a late comment but felt lead to reply anyway

[@user-xh9rw3wh3m]

Its a shame these teachings are read so poorly. The tone of voice is patronising yet flippant and with no feeling for the words spoken. The piece is spoken with a weird vocal pattern, short sections repeating a strange sing song quality. It would have been better if narrated just normally. I switched to subtitles, not to diminish the wisdom of AC.

[@AngelTFC]

Then you're bound to suffer.

[@narren3729]

You have totally missed the point.
