Different styles appeal to different people, of course. Dare I state, however, that something this clear can appeal to most people. It is definitely very helpful and highly appreciated. Thanks for introducing us to it.

I love this drawing of Ajahn Chah thank you for this channel.
The clear explanation of the dhamma by Ajahn Chah is a blessing. For several years I have been listening to the Dhamma talks of his disciple monks of Western origin. Ajahn Sumedho, Jayasaro, Achalo, Amaro and others. And I really consider that a great gift. ❤🙏 Thank you.
Me too, especially Ajahn Sumedho. We are blessed to hear the Dhamma 🙏🏻

Leonardo da Vinci said " The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions " Plato shared with us wisdom he learnt from Egypt, wisdom that was a death sentence in Greece, Rome (Christianity) ..Pythagoras, Socrates and later Hypatia of Alexandria. Plato in his dialogue "The Republic " tells the parable of "The Cave " Plato starts by telling us of prisoners being held in a underground den, let us examine this den via the geometry of Bernhard Riemann and Felix Klein..Klein bottle..3rd and 4th dimensions. Plato tells us that the prisoners are bound up unable to move their heads, let us examine this bondage via the psychology of Erich Fromm..socialisation of consciousness.. aware-unaware. Plato tells us that the prisoners mistake shadows for substance,let us examine this mistake via the philosophy of Thales, Hume and Kant..synthetic a priori judgement..not thing in itself. Plato tells us that one of the prisoners is released, let us examine this release via the wisdom of T Lobsang Rampa..stilling the mind and conscious astral travel..leaving the cave/body. Plato tells us that the prisoners will reject this release, let us examine this rejection via the psychology of Stockholm Syndrome..Plato quotes Homer..forgive them for they know not what they say. Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds. Mathew 23 13 31.
Mara, the trickster, coming in the back door!
It is odd that jhāna have been stated as harmful. Sāriputta contemplated anicca characteristic of cetasika (aka mental factors) while he was in different jhāna (Ref: anupada sutta). That resulted in his enlightenment.
As Ajahn Chah mentions, it's only harmful when grasped without wisdom. It can become an addiction, an attachment and not a cause for liberation. Many can get stuck in them for lifetimes as bliss is addictive.
Thank you 🙏
