Summary
Renowned for the beauty and simplicity of his teachings, Ajahn Chah was Thailand's best-known meditation teacher. His charisma and wisdom influenced many American and European seekers, and helped shape the American Vipassana community.
This collection brings together for the first time Ajahn Chah's most powerful teachings, including those on meditation, liberation from suffering, calming the mind, enlightenment and the "living dhamma". Most of these talks have previously only been available in limited, private editions and the publication of Food for the Heart, therefore, represents a momentous occasion: the hugely increased accessibility of his words and wisdom.
Western teachers such as Ram Dass and Jack Kornfield have extolled Chah's teachings for years, and now listeners can experience them directly in this book.

Loved it!
His teachings were really good, made me smile, laughs and enlighten me. This book is must have. Not just for the followers of Buddhism but everyone that needs some enlightenment, a way out of suffering, who wishes better understanding how mind works. Like readers said you might need some other have said you might need some previous references, or it be a little complicated to fully understand his teachings. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to read this book. Namaste

Genuine Dhamma Practice
Ajahn Chah was a much respected teacher from the very strict Forest Tradition preserved within the Theravada School of Thailand. Indeed, so profound and powerful was this Master's understanding that even his words recorded (and translated) in a book years after his physical death still 'shine' with a genuine spiritual light that deeply penetrates the mind of every person fortunate enough to encounter this text! How fortunate it is that Audible are permitting this manual of intricate mind development to be part of the 'Plus Catalogue' and 'free' for all members to access as and when they feel the need! Ajahn Chah did not tolerate the Dhamma being sold for money and would have approved of this arrangement!

superb
Superb teaching of the Dharma, easy to listen to difficult to practice. There is a lot of repetition in the talks but the message is clear, practice, practice, practice all the time. If you want the true authentic Dharma get this book.

A useful collection of Dhamma talks by Ajahn Chah
I think this audiobook would be most useful if you were to listen to a chapter a day and let the ideas and stories influence your day to day life. There's a lot there so it would also help to remember the issues in the talks.
These are very down to earth talks too, things that everyone can learn from.
