Wise Communication- Listening_2

If there’s one capacity that is central to spiritual life, it is our human capacity to listen. When the Buddha sat under the bodhi tree on the night of his enlightenment, it wasn’t so much to do, or get or make something, but to listen inwardly. Listen with all of his senses to the nature of this world we are born into for a time.

Our meditation practice is a practice of remembering and reclaiming the mind, reclaiming the art of listening. Historically, the first disciples of the Buddha were called the “listeners,” not the “followers.”
