On the silence between the chants
After fifteen years of chanting morning and evening, what I now hear most clearly is the silence that follows. The Pali words land in the heart only because the silence is there to receive them. The same is true of meditation. Effort is necessary, but only as a doorway. The other side is already waiting.
