A nice meditation with little guidance and long stretches of silence. I like it this way. Thank you.

The concept of no birth and no death can be very hard to grasp. But the word grasp is on where our intellect is desperately trying to understand. This gentle exploration of these ideas based of the simplicity of Thich Nhat Hahn and his explanations is truly liberating. Allow yourself to sit, listen and open.
