  Threshold Conversations — Episode 29 - Presence as the Real

  Jul 10, 202619 minS1

  <p>A few days into a stretch of walking alone on the Annapurna Circuit, I came around a bend in the trail.</p><p>A huge cat cleared the trees and landed on the path bounding in my direction. It halted about eight feet away. One more leap and it would have landed in my arms.</p><p>We froze in space and time.</p><p>What followed was four seconds that I have thought about across the decades since. A snow leopard met my eyes. I reached out with all my heart. The leopard relaxed. It took one step...

  Threshold Conversations — Episode 28 - Playing Our Part

  Jun 30, 202615 minS1

  <p>After a year as a monk in Burma, I walked the Annapurna Circuit. Weeks of walking through Nepal — valleys, thin air, stone walls older than I can imagine, rivers that knew where they were going whether or not I did.</p><p>What I want to tell you about is the people I met on that trail.</p><p>I did not choose any of them. They appeared. Other walkers, moving the same direction or the opposite direction, stopping at the same teahouses or passing by, sharing the path for an hour or a day or sometimes longer.</p><p>...

  Threshold Conversations — Episode 27 - Emergence

  Jun 19, 202617 minS1

  <p>I did not plan to become a Buddhist monk in Burma. I did not plan to walk into a year of monastic life. I did not plan to receive what I received there.</p><p>I followed a sequence of small signs over a period of years. They led me to Asia, then to Burma, then to a particular monastery, then to a particular Sayadaw, then to a particular morning when something happened that I have never been able to explain.</p><p>That morning, I walked toward a pagoda where I had sat in meditation a hundred times...

  Threshold Conversations — Episode 26 -No Elsewhere

  Jun 10, 202614 minS1

  <p>A forest path in Burma, climbing toward the Pagoda on the Rock. Night had fallen. I sat on a fallen branch to wait for my companions. A short distance up the trail, a group of pilgrims from the Karen State had built a fire.</p><p>Without warning, a woman among them jumped to her feet. Others started playing flutes and drums. She began to dance by firelight. And as I watched from the shadows, something dissolved.</p><p>I lost the reference point of being someone watching. I was the dancer, in the dancing. I was the music...

  Threshold Conversations — Episode 25 - Refusing the Collapse

  May 30, 202612 minS1

  <p>Thirty years ago, I stood on a wooden bridge outside a monastery in Rangoon. I had just finished evening meditation. The ancient chants in Pali were still resonating in my body. And drifting up through the steamy night air from somewhere across the city, I heard the sound of the blues.</p><p>Two simultaneous truths. Two completely different kinds of depth. And I noticed something in myself wanting to figure out which one was more real.</p><p>I noticed, just as quickly, that the question itself was wrong.</p><p>That moment has stayed with me for...
