Luang Poh Chah

Luang Poh Chah was born in 1918 in a village located in the north-eastern part of Thailand.

He became a novice at a young age and received higher ordination at the age of twenty. He followed the austere Forest Tradition for years, living in forests and living off almsfood as he wandered on mendicant pilgrimage.

He practised meditation under a number of masters, among whom was Ajahn Mun, a highly respected and accomplished meditation teacher of the time.

Ajahn Mun had an indelible influence on Luang Poh Chah, giving his meditation practice the direction and clarity that it lacked.
