The unstruck gong

Living in the world and practicing meditation, you seem to others like a gong that has not been struck and is not producing any sound. They will consider you useless, mad, defeated; but, actually, just the opposite is true.

Truth is hidden in untruth, permanence is hidden in impermanence.

—Venerable Ajahn Chah

A gift this morning in my inbox from a dear friend, sent to me and another dear friend as we enter the new year. (They are both wandering yogis in Asia, while I am here. Each doing her job.) Now I share these words with you.

About

Teachings from the Buddha-dhamma, nondual, and other contemplative traditions. A place to share things I'm reading and listening to, and to engage in dialogue.

I've been a Theravadan practitioner for around 10 years. Before that, I focused on Ch'an/Zen as a religion major in university. Currently I am a student at NYZCCC in the foundations of Buddhist contemplative care program.

I welcome your questions, and invite you to listen and reflect further with me.
