- About the Author:
Venerable Ajahn Chah Subhaddo (Chao Khun Bodhinyana Thera), alternatively spelled Achaan Chah, occasionally with honorific titles Luang Por and Phra; 17 June 1918 – 16 January 1992) was an influential teacher of the Buddhadharma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition.
Respected and loved in his own country as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West. Beginning in 1979 with the founding of Cittaviveka (commonly known as Chithurst Buddhist Monastery) in the United Kingdom, the Thai Forest Tradition of Ajahn Chah has spread throughout Europe, the United States and the British Commonwealth. The dhamma talks of Ajahn Chah have been recorded, transcribed and translated into several languages.
More than one million people, including the Thai royal family, attended Ajahn Chah's funeral in 1992. He left behind a legacy of dhamma talks, students, and monasteries.

Usefully, Ajahn Chah emphasized impermanence, "anicca", as the place to start, seeing it as something that is fairly obvious to everyone. It is the first of the three characteristics of experience, according to the Buddha. The other two - "dukkha", meaning suffering, or the unsatisfactory nature of the impermanent, i.e., everything that exists; and "anatta", meaning not-self, or the idea that we are nothing more than the elements, or temporary collections of feelings and mental processes, and ultimately meaningless (though I don't imagine a Buddhist would put it like that) - are the other main aspects of his teachings, and the three sections of the book focused on each of these ideas are the meat of the book.
While the latter two teachings, dukkha and anatta, are interesting philosophically, I cast them aside as anything other than objects of intellectual interest that are part of a belief system that is not my own. Annica though seems useful to me to contemplate, and seek to more fully appreciate. Meditating on impermanence I think holds promise in countering the pathological tendencies of the overanxious mind, or at least my own. I found a lot of interest in this section. Okay, so that last one isn't from this particular book. :)… (mere)
