Ajahn Chah

We don't cling.

This is called right practice which is present in all postures.

These words, all postures, do not refer only to bodily postures.

They refer to the mind which has mindfulness and clear comprehension of the truth at all times.

When Samadhi has been rightly developed, wisdom arises like this.

This is called insight, knowledge of the truth.

There are two kinds of peace, the coarse and the refined.

The peace which comes from samadhi is the cause type.

When the mind is peaceful, there is happiness.

The mind then takes his happiness to be peace.

But happiness and unhappiness are becoming and birth.

There is no escape from samsara here.

because we still cling to them.

So happiness is not peace.

Peace is not happiness.

The other type of peace is that which comes from wisdom.

Here we don't confuse peace with happiness.

We know the mind which contemplated and knows happiness and unhappiness as peace.

The peace which sees the truth of both happiness and unhappiness.

Clinging to either of those states does not arise.
