Ajahn Chah (1919-1992) was admired for the way he demystified the Buddhist teachings, presenting them in a remarkably simple and down-to-earth style for people of any background. He was a major influence and spiritual mentor for a generation of American Buddhist teachers, including Jon Kabat-Zinn, Sharon Salzberg, and Jack Kornfield. Previous books by Ajahn Chah have consisted of collections of short teachings on a wide variety of subjects. This new book focuses on the theme of impermanence, offering powerful remedies for overcoming our deep-seated fear of change, including guidance on letting go of attachments, living in the present, and taking up the practice of meditation. Everything Arises, Everything Falls Away also contains stories and anecdotes about this beloved master's life and his interactions with students, from his youth as a struggling monk to his last years when American students were coming to study with him in significant numbers. These stories help to convey Ajahn Chah's unique spirit and teaching style, allowing readers to know him both through his words and the way in which he lived his life.… (mais)

Having gotten into mindfulness meditation lately as one approach to dealing with an anxiety disorder, and feeling like it's being of some benefit, I've gotten curious to learn more about the Buddhist philosophy from which it essentially springs. The Thai Forest tradition of Buddhism is one strand I'm particularly interested in, as a reform movement within the Theravada school that is focused on the older Pali canons. This book of translated, shortish teachings from a noted monk in the Thai Forest tradition was quite illuminative and easy for a beginner in this area to read, and I think I learned a good amount from it.

Usefully, Ajahn Chah emphasized impermanence, "anicca", as the place to start, seeing it as something that is fairly obvious to everyone. It is the first of the three characteristics of experience, according to the Buddha. The other two - "dukkha", meaning suffering, or the unsatisfactory nature of the impermanent, i.e., everything that exists; and "anatta", meaning not-self, or the idea that we are nothing more than the elements, or temporary collections of feelings and mental processes, and ultimately meaningless (though I don't imagine a Buddhist would put it like that) - are the other main aspects of his teachings, and the three sections of the book focused on each of these ideas are the meat of the book.

While the latter two teachings, dukkha and anatta, are interesting philosophically, I cast them aside as anything other than objects of intellectual interest that are part of a belief system that is not my own. Annica though seems useful to me to contemplate, and seek to more fully appreciate. Meditating on impermanence I think holds promise in countering the pathological tendencies of the overanxious mind, or at least my own. I found a lot of interest in this section.
Whatever states of mind, happy or unhappy, occur, never mind - we should constantly be reminding ourselves, "This is uncertain [impermanent]".
The sensory experiences we like and dislike are equal. But when they contact us, we don't see them as equal. If something is pleasing, we are really happy over it. If something is displeasing, we want to destroy it. So they aren't the same to us, but in truth they really are equal. We have to train in this: they are equal in that they are unstable and impermanent.
When you sit in meditation, there may be various conditions of mind appearing, seeing and knowing all manner of things, experiencing different states. Don't keep track of them, and don't get wrapped up in them. You only need to remind yourself that they're uncertain [impermanent]. That's enough. That's simple, and it's easy to do.
Doubts will end like this. They will end by this method of practicing in the present. There's no need to be anxious about the past, because it has gone. Whatever happened in the past has arisen and ceased in the past, and now it is finished. We can let go of concern about the future, because whatever will occur in the future will occur and cease in the future.
The true and correct words of the sages will not lack mention of impermanence. If there is no mention of impermanence, it is not the speech of the wise. It is not the speech of the enlightened ones; it's called speech that does not accept the truth of existence.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18.
Okay, so that last one isn't from this particular book. :) ( )

> On trouve dans ce livre toute la sagesse d'un grand maitre, qui a formé de nombreux moines occidentaux, et dont l'influence à été immense.
Le dhamma d'Ajahn Chah est lumineux et efficace, son enseignement sur "anicca", l'impermanence et "dukkha", la souffrance, peut être assez radical, car il savait que l'on se défait pas comme çà de nos mauvaises habitudes!
Un livre essentiel et profond à recommander.

> RÉSUMÉ. — Ajahn Chah (1918-1992) est l'un des maîtres bouddhistes thaïlandais contemporains les plus remarquables. Sa présence pleine de compassion et son enseignement direct et clair ont attiré des milliers de disciples, laïques et moines, asiatiques comme occidentaux. Son rayonnement a participé au renouveau de l'antique tradition des « moines de la forêt » en Thaïlande et à la diffusion du bouddhisme en Occident.
Soigneusement compilé, cet ouvrage reprend des enseignements d'Ajahn Chah énoncés en diverses circonstances ainsi que des anecdotes sur sa vie, depuis l'apprentissage difficile de la vie de moine jusqu'à ses dernières années, et sur ses relations avec ses disciples. De façon vivante et simple il présente les enseignements bouddhiques les plus fondamentaux sur l'impermanence et la souffrance tout en délivrant nombre de conseils pratiques sur la méditation et la vie quotidienne. Il transmet ainsi le style de l'enseignement, la joie de vivre et la manière d'être d'un maitre qui à l'évidence, a accompli profondément la Voie du Bouddha.
Plein de fraîcheur et de créativité, ces propos d'Ajahn Chah réunis ici nous aident à nous émanciper dans ce monde changeant. Un ouvrage d'une grande pertinence pour les adeptes de toutes les écoles du bouddhisme comme pour tous ceux qui sont engagés dans une démarche spirituelle.

> UN PILIER DE L'IMPERMANENCE. — Complémentaire à la brillante série de Hénépola Gunaratana. Ce livre est axé sur l'impermanence de toute chose et de la souffrance qui découle de l'attachement à celles-ci : ceci est décrit avec un bon sens absolu.
Quelques bonnes clés sont données pour la respiration ainsi que pour la mise en pratique de l'enseignement dans la vie de tous les jours parce que le bouddhisme ne peut qu'être accompli qu'à cette seule condition : la pratique dans le quotidien.
Il est aussi expliqué très clairement comment et pourquoi l'esprit ne cesse de renaître. Ces chapitres s'entremêlent pour nous faire comprendre que tout est lié : attachement - naissance de l'esprit - souffrance - renaissance etc... tout ce mécanisme est la conséquence de l'incompréhension de la nature des choses.
J'ai encore un peu de mal dans la compréhension du concept de non soi mais ça viendra...
Méditer c'est avoir une expérience directe avec la réalité et la voir comme telle. Il faut donc court-circuiter le mental qui lui interprète et nous fait voir la réalité comme on veut la voir. Il faut donc expliquer la nature du mental et c'est là le point fort du bouddhisme : une religion qui demande de ne pas croire. Osho est très fort pour expliquer tous ces principes. (Oribase)

Yup for better or worse everything arises and falls away, within the field of phenomenon. Ajahn Chah telling it like it is. He was the Thai teacher of many now teaching. ( )
