Pure Awareness (20 Minutes)

The early masters of Chan used koans to assist students in contemplating the nature of reality and realizing pure awareness. The "mountains" koan refers to the three levels of seeing reality and goes like this: In the beginning, I saw mountains as mountains. Later, I saw mountains were not mountains. Now, I see mountains as just mountains. The third level is purified awareness. Seeing reality without imposing any clouds of filters, interpretations, judgments, religious, or philosophical concepts. This track is a 20-minute musical contemplation on the koan and purified awareness. It's a long-form drone suitable for meditation, yoga, sleeping, or walks in nature.
