In zen there are methods that deepen the mere listening
from noise to silence.
One of them is listening to the Japanese gongs.
Let us deepen our listening practice together.
Let's immerse ourselves into the world of silence.
From the rushing and superficial world of "want", "should" and "must"
into the world of the moment.
A world of our innermost reality.
Follow the sounds of the gong...
...into silence.
From noise to sound... to silence... to counsciousness.
Just listen.
Just listen.
Follow the sounds... into silence.
Just listen.
Let go.
Just listen.
You can replace the sounds of the gong anytime with
the sound of snapping of the fingers.
Very simple.
Stop, let go, just listen.
From noise to silence.
When you practice often in this or some other way,
then perhaps you will hear some day...
Every day is a good day.
Remain in silence for couple of minutes.
Maybe once a day.
Maybe twice, or three times a day.
Maybe one minute, maybe five minutes.
Maybe 25 minutes.
Enjoy... just listening.
