Small Talk 2

Jo: Bye bye.

Me: No, I'm not going back yet. Just sitting outside.

.

Jo: Eh,... eh.

Me: What?

.

Jo: Nothing!

.

Isn't that an amazing small talk?

Jo seems to understand the conversation.

.

Jo never said 'bye bye' when someone just arrived in the house nor does he say 'goodnight' in the day time.

.

Sometimes, he would yell, "Help! Help!", when the sun shines on him.

And when nobody came, he said, "Nobody helped!" :)

Small Talk

I had a relaxing group meditation a few evenings ago, guided by a teacher.

.

However, I didn't enjoy the discussion. I feel that it is unnecessary to discuss about what we experience during meditation, as everyone's experience (path) is unique. It has little to do with what others have experienced or is experiencing. There is also a tendency that such discussions can lead to meditators looking up to the other person's experience as superior, especially if it is coming from the teacher or a more experienced meditator, thus creating a conscious limit to the meditator's spiritual development.
