Series Description: This four-week discussion group is designed for both sangha members new to the profound teachings of Ajahn Chah, a primary teacher within Mountain Stream’s lineage, and for those familiar with his teachings who would like to deepen their understanding and application in daily life.

Carol Fernandes and Randall Harris, both long-time dedicated practitioners, will serve as discussion leaders; they are not dharma teachers. This same series was presented in previous years and participants have expressed appreciation for the value they received from each week’s reading, and through rich group discussion and further contemplation.

Program Overview:
Each week, participants will be asked to read a brief Ajahn Chah teaching prior to the session and come prepared to listen and discuss the contents to both deepen insight/understanding and to reflect on opportunities for direct practice.

Links to each week’s teaching are provided below.
