Two: A Meditation by Bruno Barnhart

In a tree filled landscape, a bright yellow sun outlined in red hangs in the gray sky. On the right side of the photo, thin dark green branches extend to the sun, seemingly cradling it.
 

This voice memo read-aloud comes from Bruno Barnhart’s book, Second Simplicity. There are four numbered meditations; this week, “Two” is calling.

Notes

  • The quote at the beginning of this reading is footnoted: Yang-shan Hui-chi, in Suzuki, Essays in Zen Buddhism, pg. 55.

  • To receive Bruno more deeply, here’s a taste in the living memory of one of his students.

  • I got a used copy from ThriftBooks. It looks like they have one more in stock at the moment of this writing.

My name is Kirsten. I accompany folks as they attune to the inner experiences of life in spiritual direction, a place of presence and connection, a place to anchor briefly amid the chaos, a spacious place to be seen and known.
