Food for the Heart: The Collected Teachings of Ajahn Chah

“Even though some of you may experience some peace when you sit in meditation, don’t be in a hurry to congratulate yourselves. Likewise, if there is some confusion, don’t blame yourselves. If things seem to be good, don’t delight in them, and if they’re not good don’t be averse to them. Just look at it all, look at what you have. Just look, don’t bother judging. If it’s good, don’t holdfast to it; if it’s bad, don’t cling to it. Good and bad can both bite, so don’t hold fast to them.”
