Peace is within oneself to be found in the same place as agitation and suffering. It is not found in a forest or on a hilltop, nor is it given by a teacher. Where you experience suffering, you can also find freedom from suffering. Trying to run away from suffering is actually to run toward it.
-Ajahn Chah

Try to be mindful, and let things take their natural course. Then your mind will become still in any surroundings, like a clear forest pool. All kinds of wonderful, rare animals will come to drink at the pool, and you will clearly see the nature of all things. You will see many strange and wonderful things come and go, but you will be still. This is the happiness of the Buddha. Ajahn Chah

"Đừng nghĩ ngợi gì nhiều, chỉ biết là mọi sự đều phải như vậy. Hiện tại không ai có thể giúp được con, gia đình con hay của cải của con không có thể làm gì cho con được, chỉ có chánh niệm, sự tỉnh thức mới có thể giúp con được lúc này. Vậy đừng có ngần ngại gì nữa, hãy buông bỏ hết đi, dù con có không buông bỏ mọi sự cũng sẽ rời bỏ con mà đi. Khi ta còn chưa trở về nhà thật sự của mình, chúng ta sẽ còn cảm thấy bất an dù ta có làm gì chăng nữa." Thiền sư Ajahn Chah

Guilt and Tendencies towards Negativity, by Ajahn Sumedho
Everyday Buddhist: Guilt and Tendencies towards Negativity, by Ajahn Sumedho http://wp.me/pFy3u-1fD
It is interesting that there are now all kinds of stress reduction programmes; people are aware of stress and tension in society. A modern life is a very stressful one and things move too quickly for us, actually. We’re propelled through high technology and a fast-lane type of life whether we like it or not, and this does affect us. We get a sense of this kind of driven quality, this quality that…

People want to go to nibbana but when I tell them there is nothing there, they begin to have second thoughts.

“We take refuge in the Buddha, but what is this Buddha? When we see with the eye of wisdom, we know that the Buddha is timeless, unborn, unrelated to any body, any history, any place. Buddha is the ground of all being, the realization of the truth of the unmoving mind. So the Buddha was not enlightened in India. In fact he was never enlightened, was never born, and never died. This timeless Buddha is our true home, our abiding place.”

Ajahn Chah sobre a paz
PAZ P: Como é a paz?R: O que é confusão? Bem, a paz é o fim da confusão. A paz está dentro de cada um e pode ser encontrada no mesmo lugar que a agitação e o sofrimento. Não é encontrado em uma floresta ou no topo de uma colina, nem é dado por um professor. Onde você experimenta sofrimento, também pode encontrar a libertação do sofrimento. Tentar fugir do sofrimento é, na verdade, correr para…
