A Guided Meditation on Listening and Silence - Based on Selected Verses and Poems of Ilie Cioara

These poems/stanzas written by Ilie Cioara have been formatted for the purpose of a guided meditation. Excerpts taken from the book by Cioara, "The Silence of the Mind" - translated by Petrica Verdes.
Ilie Cioara (1916 - 2004) was an enlightened mystic who did not belong to any lineage. He is unique in a way, in the sense that he lived in almost complete isolation, in Romania, Eastern Europe in a communist country, completely oblivious of nonduality, Zen, etc. Originally a Christian mystic, he practiced a mantra for over 20 years. One day, he felt an intuitive impulse to drop the mantra, and just practice the silence of the mind, by listening to the noises on the street, in the now. After following this practice for a few years, one morning, as he was waking up from his sleep, he realised the veils had completely dropped. His description of meditation is fresh and devoid of any tradition and jargon.
The book can be purchased here or on Amazon: www.booktopia.com.au/the-sile...

    Would there be any attempt to describe the deep resonance, which is noticable by following this wonderful play of your crystal clear words shining in midst the immense silence...it would be "Stillness speaks". Only pure emptiness of the heart is capable to touch this heart, which is sensed right HERE, exactly NOW. Your gift of transmitting truth in this beautiful way is felt as a glittering pearl admidst all words I've ever heard and yet...not really heard. Falling into grace by just deep listening - flowing with the peace of a silent river. With tremendous gratitude for your invitation to share availibilty and receptivity, Beloved One, you are truly an empty chanel for the divine melody of BEING itself. 🙏💖

    Brilliant presentation. Bravo! In the Shurangama Sutra, it is written that the Buddha asked 25 Bodhisattvas how they had experienced the bodhi state. When it was Avalokiteshvara's turn to talk s/he said: "... I developed the Bodhi Mind and, for my entry into Sam‡dhi, I was instructed by Him (a Buddha name Avalokiteshvara) to practise meditation by means of the organ of hearing. The Buddha then asked Manjushri which of the 25 "paths" would be suitable for Ananda and by implication the rest of us. Manjushri composed a gatha to express his agreement with Avalokiteshvara . See: Shurangama Sutra by C. Luk
