คำสอนสั้น ๆ หลวงพ่อชา 2

When sitting in meditation, say,

Happiness and suffering do not depend on being poor or rich, they depend on having the right or wrong understanding in our mind. - Ajahn Chah

If you listen to the Dhamma teachings but don't practice you're like a ladle in a soup pot. The ladle is in the soup pot every day, but it doesn't know the taste of the soup. You must reflect and meditate. - Ajahn Chah

Do everything with a mind that lets go. Do not expect praise or reward. - Ajahn Chah

When one does not understand death, life can be very confusing. - Ajahn Chah

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

Know and watch your heart. It's pure but emotions come to colour it. - Ajahn Chah

To give up doing evil is more important than making merit. - Ajahn Chah

Looking for peace is like looking for a turtle with a mustache: You won't be able to find it. But when your heart is ready, peace will come looking for you. - Ajahn Chah
