Ajahn Chah was giving the talk in his Buddhist monastery in Thailand which is a Buddhist country. Well, I understand that he was addressing Buddhists, but why wouldn't his statement apply to every human being on the planet regardless of what religion they are or which country they live in????

I'm sure that Ajahn Chah would say the same thing in any circumstance, that is if he was courageous and bold enough to stick to his guns. I would have to say he was speaking and implying this quote universally. If not, then it doesn't hold any water or credibility any more than just some meaningless platitude.
