About This Teaching

Summary: Ajahn Chah demonstrates how attachment, even to generosity, can become a trap. When a devoted couple tried to persuade him to stay longer, he left without warning, teaching that true wisdom lies in avoiding emotional entanglements. His actions reflect the Dhamma principle of non-attachment—moving freely without being bound by expectations or obligations.
