Who eats time? By Bhikku Buddhadasa
Cathal Costello Costello
The Buddha is recorded as saying that anyone who gets rid of tanha (ignorant desire) is someone who eats time. Usually it's time that devours; it devours people and all other living things. Would anyone who puts an end to desire, that one turns around and eats time, which means that time becomes a small matter, something to smile at, an inconsequential matter that can't eat or bite us." Ajahn Buddhadasa Bhikku

Noble Conversation
Brett
In pursuit of more skillful speech, especially with teachers and members of the Sangha, yesterday I downloaded the freely available book Noble Conversation, by Ajahn Thanissaro.

It’s amazing to have these free books available and I am very thankful to have found them at this time.
On a 10 day retreat in 2013, I wasn’t really supposed to read books but one book that went with me was Right Mindfulness, by Ajahn Thanissaro (Thanissaro Bhikkhu at the time). It was worth taking with me. These books are distributed free of charge.
