Customer Review

This is an amazing book that compiles the teachings of a Thai Buddhist woman who has withdrawn from the world with his uncle and aunt on a hill where they created a small retreat center dedicated to follow the path the Buddha. It was rumored that his teachings and practice were of a very high standard which attracted more and more people in this small center. His teachings were recorded in the 1950s and then transcribed in book form. The French translation date of 2013.

What is surprising is the simplicity on the one hand due to the fact that it refers less to texts and Buddhist culture as their own experience practitioner, on the other hand, the lively and invigorating a such word. Although based implicitly on her own experience, she never speaks of herself strictly speaking this gives a sense of universality in his remarks. We must not forget, by reading this book, that these teachings are closely linked to the practice of meditation. It incites to turn our gaze inward to observe his own mind. His observations are of accuracy, richness of detail and amazing depth. It explains how to train his mind to seek understanding born of the attention and discernment in order to free themselves from suffering and dissatisfaction due to mental poisons of greed, anger and ignorance. It does not claim insofar as it is easy. There is no idealism in his remarks. It's all about stamina and let go like in any training. Then once the practice of meditation has become a habit, it is continuing to make this standard practice and in all circumstances of life no matter what we do.

"... Be alert and aware of each breath and with each exhalation, wherever you go, whatever you do, whether you are healthy or sick and whatever the internal and external circumstances. The spirit must be in a state of consciousness that encompasses everything. He must be aware of the appearance and disappearance of mental phenomena at any time as to prevent the formation of thoughts subject to the desire and mental poisons, as you would let train once ".
