This booklet is one in a series of the invaluable and innumerable works of Than Achan Buddhadasa of Suan Mokkhabalaram, Chaiya, Thailand.

Having heard that Than Achan thought of seeing this piece of his discourse translated into English, as it has already been available in Chinese, I volunteered to work on the translation. I have tried my best to be hue to the text, but due to my inadequate English, there might be some unclear passages, misinterpretations or even errors, for which I am responsible and ask for forgiveness.

Appreciations are hereby expressed to Mr. Mongkol Dejnakarintra of Chulalongkorn University for his kind help in editing the translation.

There is no need to dedicate the virtues and merits of this booklet to anybody, for they purely belong to Than Achan Buddhadasa himself, who has been devoting all his life to the ultimate cause of Buddhism, and whose 80th birthday anniversary on May 27, 1986, is celebrated by his disciples and well-wishers nation-wide.
