Dedicated with the deepest gratitude to the Venerable Achaan Chah Subato, our teacher, guide, and friend, to his many devoted students and disciples, especially Achaan Sumedho, to his teachers Achaan Tong Rath and Achaan Mun, and to the teachers before them, the lineage of centuries of those in the forest who realized through their simplicity and genuine practice the freedom and joy in the teachings of the Buddha. And dedicated to our parents, for their care and support along our way.
