Ajahn Chah

Ajahn Chah Subhatto (Chao Khun Bodhinyanathera) (en tailandés: ชา สุภัทโท; Ubon Ratchathani, 17 de junio de 1918 – 16 de enero de 1992) fue uno de los maestros más grandes de meditación del siglo XX, con mucha influencia en el budismo Theravāda y quizás el monje más famoso de la tradición tailandesa del bosque. Nació en un pueblo de la parte noreste de Tailandia. Llegó a ser novicio en la temprana edad y recibió las altas órdenes a la edad de veinte años. Siguió la tradición de austeridad propia de la Tradición del Bosque por muchos años, viviendo en el bosque y mendigando la comida que recibía deambulando como un peregrino mendicante.
