ZC 2147: Tricycle Tuesday - Silent Underground by Aryavandana

About this episode

The episode features a reflection on the unseen aspects of mindfulness and compassion in daily life.

In today's episode, I share a thoughtful piece from Tricycle: The Buddhist Review titled Silent Underground by Aryavandana. It's a gentle yet powerful reflection on the unseen roots of our practice—the quiet, often unnoticed ways that mindfulness and compassion take hold beneath the surface of our daily lives. Much like roots growing in the dark, our practice doesn't always announce itself, but over time, it nourishes a steadier, more grounded way of being. Take a few minutes to explore how what's unseen within you may be shaping something truly beautiful. THANKS FOR LISTENING!
