| | E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum -> Ajahn Chah And Thanissaro Bikkhu |
| | Ajahn Chah was the epitome of the Kammatthana (Meditation) Thai Forest tradition. | | | Ajahn Chah, as I'm sure you recognize, represents the straightforward pragmatism of the path as was originally taught in the Sutta Pitaka by the Buddha and his enlightened students. | | | Ajahn Thanissaro, therefore represents a unique (historically) new voice in Theravadin Sutta Pitaka commentary, rooted not in the theoretical approach of Abhidhamma orthodoxy, but in the pragmatic approach of the Buddha himself. |

| | Ajahn Chah belonged to a tradition of Thai forest monks (dhutanga) which emphasised on living the Buddha's teaching just like the way Buddha did 2600 years ago. | | | Like the Buddha, key to Ajahn Chah's mastery was his emphasis in using ordinary situations to teach the Dharma. | | | I learnt quite a bit about Ajahn Chah's meditation method from 1992 till his death in 1994. |

| | Ordained by Ajahn Cha in 1979, Ajahn Amaro has spent most of his life as a monk at the Amaravati monastery in England. | | | Ajahn Chah, or Luang Por as his disciples called him, possessed that uniquely beautiful quality of being: a quality visible only to a heart seeking The Way of Truth. | | | When I first visited Ajahn Chah's monastery in Thailand, I found a group of Westerners like myself, with very similar backgrounds, who were living in the forest doing Buddhist meditation practice. |
