On the occasion of Luang Por Chah’s Birth Anniversary , we warmly invite you to join us for a day of recollection, meditation, and Dhamma discussion inspired by his timeless teachings.

Luang Por Chah had a remarkable gift for expressing profound truths through simple images drawn from everyday life—a broken cup, a fallen leaf, a still forest pool. These memorable similes continue to illuminate the Dhamma, helping us recognize its truths in the ordinary experiences of our own lives.

Throughout the day, we will reflect on some of Luang Por Chah’s most well-known similes and use them as a starting point for discussion and contemplation. Together, we will explore what these teachings reveal about the nature of life and share examples from our own practice and experience that bring them to life.

Schedule:

Morning Session

Evening Session
