Non-Duality Poetry & Meditation (Buddha)

The audio comprises of a 6-minute guided meditation followed by a poem called "Buddha." The purpose of this meditation and poetry is to orient the listener towards nondual awareness that has the same quality as the silence underneath the sounds: no beginning or end. I hope it facilitates your spiritual practice and reminds you of the true nature that lies underneath sensory experiences.

I am Mahib and welcome to the Nondual Poetry Series. In this contemplative meditation practice, I will lead a meditation and then take you into Nondual experience through one of my poems. I hope you enjoy it. Let's take a long breath in. Hold it for a moment and breathe out. Another breath in and out. Now we'll continue to breathe at a natural pace while staying aware of our breathing sensations. Noticing the expansion and contraction that takes place into our body each time we take a breath in and a breath out. Focusing on breathing is one of the essential aspects or techniques that were taught by Siddhartha the Gautama many years ago. He as an individual became enlightened and was known as the Buddha. The word Buddha does not mean a person. It is merely a title used for a person who has gone beyond all the titles. Bodhi and Uddha are the two words that come together to make the word Buddha. Bodhi means the intellect or the self and Uddha means going beyond or to transcend. So the one who transcends their intellectual mind or their egoic self can be termed as a Buddha. With that understanding let's take another long breath in and breathe out. Today's poetry is called the Buddha. Clouds are moving and creating a sound. Sky has no business but staying profound. Waves are changing creating a storm. Sea has no business but keeping its calm. Babies are crying throwing tantrums around. Mother has no reaction her love is so sound. Mind is restless monkeying around. Buddha has no business neither is it bound.
