Why Are We Here – Ven Ajahn Chah

Ven.Ajahn Chah

… So all of you, both lay people and homeless ones who have come to visit today, please consider this teaching. Ask yourselves, ”Who am I? Why am I here?” Ask yourselves, ”Why was I born?” Some people don’t know. They want to be happy but the suffering never stops. Rich or poor, young or old, they suffer just the same. It’s all suffering. And why? Because they have no wisdom. The poor are unhappy because they don’t have enough, and the rich are unhappy because they have too much to look after.
