Contemplative fieldnotes: My brother - a musician - asked me how he would go about using music to train attention. Playing around, using this masterpiece from James Holden - Renata https://youtu.be/2FmFXQSIzCo If anyone has played with music + meditation let me know.
I hadn't made that connection - probably because I'm not a musician - but that makes perfect sense to me. As I said, once I started considering it I realised what a broad & rich area of exploration it is, or could be.

That fully absorbed immersive experience you get playing a musical instrument is an every-day-life example of the fruit/result of lhatong (mi-gyo-wa, ‘no-movement’). I think it’s the most common example I’ve heard, & one I can relate to having been a musician.

Ok that’s a really interesting connection you just made. So that is in the context of Sems De? In which case would you equate the indivisibility of the sound of music and the space of silence with ro-cig, or is that still at the level of lhatong?
