Story 56 from 'A Lifetime Doing Nothing' by Ian McCrorie. I meditate mostly in my room, but I always meditate in silence. I remain still. Stillness is both a vehicle to silence and a byproduct of the same. Ajahn Chah referred to doing nondoing as a still forest pond. Stillness is also the antonym of distraction, whereas the conditioned mind is the epitome of distraction, filled as it is with well-trodden paths of judgment, impatience, craving, anger, and confusion. The myriad negative mind states prevent a banana from being seen as simply a banana. narrated by Ian McCrorie 2022 4 minutes 29 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.
