@natuankur
He is now the abbot of Wat Nong Pah Pong. His name was Ajahn Liem then, but now it’s properly Luang Por Liem. He is the most senior monk in the sangha affiliated with Ajahn Chah’s teachings.

Abrahamic religions for the weak, cowardly & lazy. Don’t worry about what u do in life, just make sure u repent, beg & grovel like crazy! The pleased king will put u up in a 5 star hotel for eternity! No wonder christians can’t wait to die. NOT!
Moksha is EARNED, never begged for nor given. Heaven & Hell are right here on Earth, we make them happen thru our efforts, not God. Hinduism, Buddhism are religions for the Strong, Brave & active

It’s amazing that the west went through all the troubles of understanding quantum mechanics’ subtleties to find out what these wise men had always known for sure: there is no separation between experiment and observer, the observer is just a convention

Everty time I see and/or hear Ajahn Chah I realise I have found the right Path, even though I have only made the first faltering step! He is truly inspirational.

You may think “why do they have money if they are monks? Aren’t they supposed to renounce attachment to worldly things?” Yes, they are. They are not attached to the money, so they don’t spend it unless they need to. Even monks realize that nothing in today’s society is free.
July 17th, 2010 - 8:54 am
Bigger temples receive lots of monetary donations, so there is usually a fund set aside for emergencies such as that, when the medicines/operations they need cannot be donated.

@MrVeggie2006 yes, in Thailand
July 17th, 2010 - 9:38 am
Its fraud upon if they seek the Aid of a hospital they can only use medicines that are in the forests and meditation Ive seen in another one of his vidz however the monks will look after the 1 that is sick until hes better.
July 17th, 2010 - 10:34 am
thanks for the information friend
July 17th, 2010 - 11:10 am
it should be free, but in more modern times people expect monks to pay. the family is usually able to pay for the medication or the temple.
