To practice Dhamma means to observe and examine oneself  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) The heart of the path is quite easy. There’s no need to explain anything at length. Let go of love and hate and let things be. That’s all that I do in my own practice.  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Time is our present breath  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Mental activity is like a deadly poisonous cobra. If we don’t interfere with a cobra, how poisonous it may be, it simply goes its own away  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) There are people who are born and die and never once are aware of their breath going in and out of their body. That’s how far away they live from themselve  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) The Dhamma has to be found by looking into your own heart and seeing that which is true and that which is not, that which is balanced and that which is not balanced  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) The one who recognizes the uncertainty of phenomena is the Dharma within you  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Anything which is troubling you, anything which is irritating you, THAT is your teacher  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) The Dharma Path is to keep walking forward. But the true Dharma has no going forward, no going backward, and no standing still  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Just know what is happening in your mind - not happy or sad about it, not attached. If you suffer see it, know it, and be empty. It’s like a letter - you have to open it before you can know what’s in it  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Read yourself, not books. Truth isn’t outside, that’s only memory, not wisdom. Memory without wisdom is like an empty thermos bottle - if you don’t fill it, it’s useless  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Of course there are dozens of meditation techniques, but it all comes down to this - just let it all be. Step over here where it is cool, out of the battle. Why not give it a try?  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Once you understand non-self, then the burden of life is gone. You’ll be at peace with the world. When we see beyond self, we no longer cling to happiness and we can truly be happy. Learn to let go without struggle, simply let go, to be just as you are - no holding on, no attachment, free  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) To observe and watch one’s own mind is something really interesting. The untrained mind will run and follow its old habit patterns. Because it has not been trained and taught, it will get lost in all kinds of stories and issues. Therefore we have to train our mind. The meditation practice in Buddhism is all about training one’s own mind  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) All religions are like different cars all moving in the same direction. People who don’t see it have no light in their hearts.  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) The mind of one who practises doesn’t run away anywhere, it stays right there. Good, evil, happiness and unhappiness, right and wrong arise, and he knows them all. The meditator simply knows them, they don’t enter his mind. That is, he has no clinging. He is simply the experiencer.  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) These days people don’t search for the Truth. People study simply in order to find knowledge necessary to make a living, raise families and look after themselves, that’s all. To them, being smart is more important than being wise!  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) If you let go completely you will have complete peace  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) If it shouldn’t happen, it wouldn’t happen  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) At some point your heart will tell itself what to do  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) If we see suffering then we don’t have suffering  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Only one book is worth reading: the heart  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) We protect virtue so that virtue will protect us  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) When the heart truly understands, it lets go of everything  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Where does peace arise? Peace arises whenever we let something go  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) The serene and peaceful mind is the true epitome of human achievement  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) If you see certainty in that which is uncertain, you are bound to suffer  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) Know and watch your heart. It’s pure but emotions come to colour it  (Ajahn Chah Quotes) To give up doing evil is more important than making merit  (Ajahn Chah Quotes)
