Eyes of the Buddha

I got the strength this morning to get up and go to Guru Gita. When I have gone in the past it has always been a very moving time for me. The sounds of the chanting resonate and absorb into the air, and create a very powerful experience for me. But not today. I enjoyed the chanting, it was beautiful. I could hear Ian's voice from across the room, he has a beautiful and calming singing voice. But .. it just wasn't doing it for me this morning. I sat with Lakshmi and some lady afterwards during lunch. I've never been one to talk much. I enjoy my moments of silence. I am quite reserved when it comes to conversation. Having to listen to these two .. and having to absorb the energy that was coming from them and their conversation was a little too much to bear. I excused myself and left the center. When I got home I meditated twice. During my second sit, I had a vision of the buddha's eyes. They were closed. Nothing else but the eyes. It was as though they were floating in the air. I tried to do a body scan of sensations, but I was not successful. That has been a theme this week.
