A Guided Meditation on Listening and Silence - Based on Selected Verses and Poems of Ilie Cioara
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2020
- 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.

I live in Romania and untill now i didn t know about Ilie. Thank you again for your work :)
Dear Jayasara. I stumbled upon these exquisite readings by accident and since then they are my daily joy and guide. They come through pure, without trappings, and carry me in profound stillness and peace. Thank you for your time, effort and the purity of the channel of your voice.
You're most welcome Gillian. Thank you for connecting and may these words of the Masters continue to support and nourish your spiritual practice. 💜🌺
Humanity needs this now.
Dear you have opened up so many doors ,that's it's quite impossible now to stay outside, thanks, for wide opening all these doors ,from all and every directions, ah , doors of different colours and shapes all wide open calling in the weary travellers, love you, thank you, and please accept my tears as a offering, such a blessing to see and feel so many, so many of us back home, back home.
One year later but this is such an amazing comment, hope this response finds you well, right on the verge of this new year of awakening(2022).
@@onlymelodic109 love you dear, what a wonder to be still and watching life unfolding of it own, like a flower unfold, sunshine, wind blows, wishing you a very sweet new year
This is a new teacher for me. How exciting! Thank you as always.
This is my daily meditation. Thank you so much for such beautiful vibes from your most sensitive reading. ❤
Love you to the moon and back 🙏🙏🙏
I listen to these teachings many times over the year .
The silence , listening , witnessing whatever label you choose opens thw gate to the deathless and calm perfuses into the boundless and vibrates and then nothingness .
Gratitude to you for bringing Ilie's words and experience to us for sharing
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. 🙏💖
Thank you thank you thank you for your divine presence Samaneri. I second all the comments here. So many of these have just allowed me/us to move into that deep stillness. With immense gratitude. 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤❤
Profound words.., at times the long gaps seem eternal.., 🙏
Dear Jayasara, your readings are showing me the way to stillness and peace. I owe you so much! Blessings
That's the darmah and the way of the bodhisattva to free sentient beings because there are no sentient beings just buddha nature
I would love to hear much more of this teacher, his message was unexpectedly strong and fresh..

Samaneri you are a blessing in my life... thank you
“if what you hear is the truth
in that sublime moment
the wall of the little self is pierced
in you there is a moment of light”
(24:20)
The Resonance of Thundering Truth
felt before heard
subtle shuddering
to seismic shift
your feet
simply slip
to the threshold
waiting and watching
how to catch the wind
the little self
perceives warning
horiZen clouds
storming
Liminal space folds in a Flash
Lightning Insight
with piercing inner~rainbow prisms
we awaken from the little self’s
hypnotism
Dreams of The Three Times
(“times immemorial”)
drops away
drops away
drops away
The Reign of Tears

MAY THE LORDS OF LAUGHTER .........
BLESS YOU
ONE THOUSAND TIMES ..........
AND CAUSE THE CLAPPING OF HANDS AND THE DANCING OF FEET.........
UPON THE ECHOES OF YESTERDAY'S ILLUSIONS

If thIs was the only video(audio) existing on UA-cam! Or on the internet.!
This is beautiful! No instruction on how to sit or breathe. Just be still and attentive. Pure listening. I sit outside with closed eyes and listen to this and to whatever. It is amazing and calming and so many sounds that come out of nowhere and return to nothing. Taoism !
Exquisite !
Okay this one was amazing
Your meditative lifestyle, of peace and stillness, is conveyed through the words. Exquisite. 🙏💛
This was absolutely succinct and profound. The clarity and pace in narration along with the long pauses took me to the depths of stillness and peace within. Thank you Samanera 🌸💞

Thank you, dear Jayasara! Such a beautiful and profound meditation pointing us to the heart of silence, so helpfully and lucidly shared. Blessings and love to you!
Most excellent. Thank you.
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
Profound!!!
