The Empty Cup and Walking the Earth
La Taza Vacía y Caminar por la Tierra
A meditation session pointing to the ever-present being that exists before thought, using metaphors of the empty cup and the ocean to describe an emptiness that is really fullness. The dialogues explore why the mind falls asleep near stillness, what meditation actually is, and how presence must ultimately be carried into daily life, relationships, and ethical living rather than staying confined to isolated practice.
