Ajahn Chah said to Jack Kornfield upon his entering the Buddhist monastery…
“I hope you are not afraid to suffer.
There are two kinds of suffering.
The kind you run away from, and it follows you everywhere.
And the kind that you turn around and face and that’s the gateway to freedom.
In here we are willing to face everything.
And if that is what you want, then welcome.”
~Ajahn Chah
