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 themselves.
有些人從出生到死亡，從來沒有一次覺察到自己的呼吸在他們的身體裡進出。他們活得跟自己如此地遙遠。
Biography / 簡介
Ajahn Chah (1918 – 1992) was an influential Thai Buddhist monk. His teachings contain elements related to Forest tradition, focusing on a simple and rigorous lifestyle, discipline and moral conduct, meditation, and an emphasis on inner experience rather than a reliance on scholarly knowledge. Ajahn's lectures are simple, direct and deep, so his teachings attract many western followers in the 80s and 90s.
