We shall visit more in this week here.

Okay. Okay. Good.

I have a question. Yes?

I'm with a sound therapy organization.

My question really was:

If silence is the pathway

to mindfulness and awakening,

what is the purpose of sound?

And what is sacred sound?

Well, silence can be thunderous.

Yeah. True.

You know that Just like a black color

is the absorption of all colors,

so silence can absorb all sounds.

It's a great sound sacred sound.

So in our practice, we practice that deep silence within,

of the mind, of all the perceptions,

the thoughts and also the quietness of the body,

so there's solidity, stability.

Spaciousness is the foundation,

and that's where other sounds can arise.

If we are always in chaos or moving around,

those are just noise.

That's not sacred sound.

So how would you define sacred sound?

What would sacred sound be

If there is one. I just did.

When you take a step and you're completely

in oneness with Mother Earth

and you don't have the division between you and Mother Earth,

nature and all that is,

that is very deep sound.

And there's no limitation to it.

And from there it can spring a song,

a poem, a smile.

A smile can be a beautiful sound.

Ah.

Hello. Ah, hey.

Have a hug.

Ah, good to see Mummy.

Well Interesting home.

I thought you said all the furniture was gone.

Huh? I thought you said

all the furniture was gone.

No, some. Yeah, it's all gone.

Garden is still there.

Garden.

This is my rock garden.

but in a month's time, all the plants will come up.

See?

Wow!

They're coming for your food.

Oh, that's beautiful.

Look at that.

At that moment, I felt perfectly at peace.

Not one sad or anxious thought entered my mind.

Ideas of past, present and future dissolved.

And I was standing at the luminous threshold

of a reality that transcends time,

space and action.

I arose and sat in meditation the rest of the night.

All that remained was a deeply rooted peace.

I sat like a mountain

and I smiled.
