One day, a famous woman lecturer on Buddhist metaphysics came to see Achaan Chah.
This woman gave periodic teachings in Bangkok on the abhidharma and complex Buddhist psychology.
In talking to Achaan Chah, she detailed how important it was for people to understand Buddhist psychology
and how much her students benefited from their study with her. She asked him
whether he agreed with the importance of such understanding.
"Yes, very important", he agreed.
Delighted, she further questioned whether he had his own students learn abhidharma.
"Oh, yes, of course."
And where, she asked, did he recommend they start, which books and studies were best?
"Only here," he said, pointing to his heart,
"only here."
