Achaan Chah spent many years walking and meditating in the forest monastery of Wat Ba Pong, engaging in the uncomplicated and disciplined Buddhist practice called dhudanga. A STILL FOREST POOL reflects the quiet, intensive and joyous practice of the forest monks of Thailand. Achaan Chah's humble words, compiled by two Westerners who are former ordained monks, awaken the spirit of inquiry, wonderment, understanding and deep inner peace. Attachment, according to Achaan Chah, causes all suffering. Understanding the impermanent, insecure and selfless nature of life is the message he offers for human happiness and realisation. To vividly grasp the meaning of attachment leads us to a new place of practice – the path of balance, the Middle Path.
