In About Being Careful, Ajahn Chah gave an insightful explanation of that is samadhi. In the Theravada school of Buddhism, some teachers teach right samadhi as the fourth jhana (fourth level of consciousness where it becomes equanimous while being absorbed). In this exposition, he explains that samadhi can happen when one is in formal meditation or daily activities and it clearly is not a jhana mental factor. He also skilfully taught how wisdom (by being mindful) can arise through contemplation of pain and suffering in the body.

The Collected Teachings of Ajahn Chah was published in 2012. This is the the complete collection of talks by Ajahn Chah that have been translated into English. During the Winter of 2012, Ajahn Amaro has given a daily reading which are recorded as audio files.What is collected here is the 'rough-hewn' edit of these readings. These talks are being made available here as a stop-gap, until the final version is ready. A final version of these readings, including the Q&A, is still under preparation and will be published, hopefully, in the near future.
