Ajahn Chah

Tan Chao Khoen Phra Bodhinyanathera is de officiële naam van Ajahn Chah (1917 — 1993), die ook wel Luang Por Chah werd genoemd. Hij was een voorname meester in de Thaise Bostraditie van het Theravada boeddhisme. Hij stond bekend om zijn simpele en heldere presentatie van de Dhamma, die zowel de lokale dorpelingen als de hoogste sociale klasse in Bangkok inspireerde. Hij stond ook bekend als de meester met de meeste westerse monnik-discipelen, waarvoor hij een apart klooster (Wat Pah Nanachat) opende vlak bij zijn eigen klooster Wat Nong Pah Pong.
