Buddhi is a word. In Sanskrit, buddhi points toward the good, the true, and the beautiful within as well as the innate, internal substance that resonates with these. In the end, buddhi is that which transcends words and concepts; buddhi is light, perfectly clear, radiantly lucid awareness. Thus buddhi is circular in meaning, so to speak: the what that is extra-mental, the how that is born of resonance and essence, and the going-beyond into

Buddhi has qualities. They include soft, open, spacious, and gentle. We open to them.
Every, all. What do these words actually mean? Can the human mind factually cognize every being or all beings? I don’t know, but buddhi likely can.
With this meditation we explore -or rather open into- where certain qualities come from, such as joy, sense of beauty or the profound, serenity and peace.
Our practice revisits a variety of components of meditation practice through a year. Each one and each cycle of re-engaging is in support of deepening, and of opening newly yet again. That’s one of the beauties of meditation practice: the potential of more intimate (deep) and more expanded (open) on an ongoing basis, ever opening to essential qualities and attributes of Being.
Peace, peaceful, at ease, gentle, spacious, and smooth are qualities that you probably have experienced – many times. Even if only a few times, the quality was unmistakable; and that is the case because meditation opened into your essence of Being.
Love or empathy, being embraced, or a feeling of union-wholeness, or oneness with all beings might have also come to the foreground in meditation. Some people are established enough in both technique and openness that such qualities become states, states that sustain. The length of time is not the true measure. The duration of suchness is, effortlessly wafting through space-time, resonating with all beings.
We are revisiting buddhi. Buddhi? Yes; and it will purposefully remain undefined by concepts so as to newly open to buddhi for its qualities of Being.
