Chasing the Stillness

from American Buddhist Poetry Radio · host Juan Vega | Monk Mode Society

Most people think you need silence to meditate.But in the American landscape—full of sirens, street noise, notifications, and the hum of modern life—silence is a luxury.This meditation was born out of that noise.Chasing the Stillness is for those who can’t always sit cross-legged in a quiet room. It’s for people on buses, people driving, people walking through chaos but still seeking center.The technique is simple:You breathe.You listen.And you chase the stillness hiding behind the sound.You’ll hear the wind. The wheels. The hum of life.And if you go deep enough, you’ll find it—the still point.The place where breath and being merge. This is a public episode.
