Meditation on the Empty Cup
Afternoon break meditation as a substitute for caffeine
20 minutes guided sitting
The Chinese Taoist Lao Tzu said “We shape the clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want”. The thing that we see isn’t the thing that we use. Often, it’s the unseen that gives the object it’s meaning. In today’s sitting, we will meditate on emptiness and form.
This particular technique was translated in Paul Reps’ 1957 book, Zen Flesh Zen Bones, as
“Look upon a bowl without seeing the sides or the material. In a few moments become aware”.
Living Meditations are guided meditations for everyday life.
