The Venerable Ajahn Chah Subhaddo (June 17, 1918 - January 16, 1992) was an influential meditation teacher within Buddhism and the founder of two great monasteries in the Thai Buddhist forest tradition. He was respected and loved in his own country as a man of great wisdom, and was instrumental in establishing Theravāda Buddhism in the West.

Ajahn Chah. Ajahn Chah was born into a large, comfortable family in a rural village of northeast Thailand. In his early youth, he took samanera (novice monk) ordination and on reaching the age of twenty, he became a bhikkhu (a fully ordained Buddhist monk).

A Dhammatalk by Ajahn Chah On Meditation 1. To calm the mind means to find the right balance. If you try to force your mind too much it goes too far; if you don't try enough it doesn't get there, it misses the point of balance. Normally the mind isn't still, it's moving all the time. We must strengthen the mind.

teacher, Ven. Ajahn Chah, in 1972. In 1971 when I was preparing to set off on a pilgrimage to the Buddhist holy places in India on my way to Thailand and ordination, Venerable Ajahn Chah was not yet a well-known name. But a monk who was then staying at the Thai temple in London knew him and suggested I go to him. I had other ideas.
