Practice Diligently Honoring the Virtue of Ajahn Chah | Friday Dhamma | 23 Jan 2026

"Every January 16, many Buddhists and disciples of Wat Nong Pah Pong gather to commemorate Luang Pu Chah Subhaddo through religious ceremonies and candlelight circumambulation around the stupa.
However, Luang Por Anan emphasizes that “practice as homage”—training the mind in accordance with the teachings—is of the highest importance and far more valuable than merely offering external objects.
Training the mind requires patience and mindfulness in order to separate the mind from emotions and defilements such as greed, anger, and delusion, leading to true inner peace.
Ultimately, learning to “let go” and to see the non-self nature of all things, in line with the guidance of the teachers, is the essential heart of the path that frees one from suffering and brings the highest blessing to life."

2020. 09. 29 | In this talk, Ajahn Anan teaches that we need to have an instrument to measure our hearts, to know how they are and what they're doing. That instrument is mindfulness. When we are aware of our inner world, then we can adjust our practice according to its state. If our hearts are gloomy, there are many ways to lift them up.

"Ajahn Anan spoke about the history and practice of Luang Pu Chah Subhaddo of Wat Nong Pah Pong, highlighting his exemplary monastic conduct and the rapid expansion of branch monasteries both within Thailand and abroad.
Ajahn Anan conveyed skillful teaching methods of the Dhamma that were simple yet profound, resembling a Zen-like approach, emphasizing the letting go of attachment and the abandonment of conceit in order to give rise to wisdom.
In addition, he shared accounts from direct experience that reflected Luang Pu’s compassion and formidable strength of mind. Even during periods of serious illness, Luang Pu continued to use his physical condition as a means to teach unity and mindfulness to the monks and novices without interruption.
These lessons serve as reminders to the Buddhist community to focus on Dhamma practice in order to refine the mind and free it from suffering in accordance with the true path of Buddhism."
