Thank you Bhikkhu Gavesako!
"As Buddhists, we should aim to develop relationships that are not predominated by grasping and clinging. Our relationships should be characterised by the brahmaviharas of metta (loving kindness), mudita (sympathetic joy), karuna (compassion), and upekkha (equanimity)."

Sadhu Bhante!
Re: Ajahn Chah's Life & Dhamma Teachings
It is abundantly clear while reading through the discourses of Venerable Ajahn Chah , that he was living Dhamma , and had mastered and perfected the Noble Eight Fold path to its very pinnacle .
Sometime ago i came across knowing about the difficult last years that Venerable Ajan Chah , went through . As i walked down a strewn garden path , recollecting that what i had read , there was salt trickling down the eyes , the drops were not due to any sadness or pain in knowing this , but rather a confidence in the Noble Eight Fold Path , and the trail blazing life lived by the Venerable One . Unshakeable is the confidence of the Triple Gem .
It is said , Wisdom is to know things in different ways , all the gem studded discourses of the Venerable Ajahn Chah , point out such .

The Path of Dhamma
The path of Dhamma is no picnic . It is a strenuous march steeply up the hill . If all the comrades desert you , Walk alone ! Walk alone ! with all the Thrill !!

An interesting account of living with Ajahn Chah as a 12 year old novice:
http://www.abhayagiri.org/reflections/a ... g-por-chah
“Don't view your inner world with pessimism.
But also don't just view your inner world with optimism.
See the world in-line with what is true
because this world has both day and night.
View the world so as to see the benefits of both sides.
That, is Right View (Sammaditthi).”

Thank you Bhante . Fortunate is that young novice who took to hardships in serving the Venerable Ajahn , and delighted in every moment of the unshakeable faith .gavesako wrote:An interesting account of living with Ajahn Chah as a 12 year old novice:
