Heart Wisdom – Ep. 168 – The Wisdom of Ajahn Chah

Sharing the wisdom of beloved Buddhist teacher Ajahn Chah, Jack describes experimenting with life and accepting things as they are.

Ajahn Chah taught people about the spirit of graciousness, and open-heartedness. He showed us that a willingness to experiment with life is a path to liberation in itself. Meditation is not the only way to be Buddhist. Engaging with life and all that happens in our reality with an open heart is a true Buddha nature.

“What he was pointing to was that we can see with great honesty our circumstance, with great compassion, and in the middle of it laugh. This too is a part of our humanity…there is a wisdom that is so much greater than the things we get caught up in.” – Jack Kornfield
