Book Review:
Mae Chee Kaew (1901-1991) was a countrywoman who lived a simple village life in northeastern Thailand and overcame enormous difficulties in her attempt to leave home and follow the Buddha's noble path. Blessed to meet the most renowned meditation masters of her era, she took their teachings to heart, diligently cultivating a mind of clear and spontaneous awareness. Her persistence, courage, and intuitive wisdom enabled her to transcend conventional boundaries and find release from birth, aging, sickness, and death. Mae Chee Kaew is one of the few known female arahants of the modern era – testimony that regardless of race, gender, or class, supreme enlightenment is still possible. An inspiring read.
