Great Silence at the Beginning: It Is Everywhere, Blooming!

Description

Wherever you are, even in the places you are certain the silence is NOT, it is there enfolding you. Even at Walmart with a toddler, in a flood, or at the doctor’s office—it is there, blooming. We are always stepping into that emptiness. 10-minute excerpt from January 15th Sunday Zen session, Part 2.

Summary

Wherever you are, even in the places you are certain the silence is NOT, it is there enfolding you. Even at Walmart with a toddler, in a flood, or at the doctor’s office—it is there, blooming.

When we hold it, enter it trust it—it brings the possibility of greater remembering.

The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao; the nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth. We are always stepping into that emptiness. It is a kindness older than pain.
