Commentary:
The Buddha means Oneness. When every thing is Oneness, there’s nothing however Oneness, the Buddha. Then, there may be no different sound however the voice of the Buddha. So, the voice of the Buddha has no starting and no finish and consists of not solely all sounds but additionally silence. Nobody can cease it reaching our ears even for a second. Moreover, all of the sounds you make in your every day life are additionally the sounds of the Buddha since you are additionally a part of the Buddha.
The important thing drawback is that we don’t recognise it whereas seeing and listening to it. As a way to recognise the sound of the Buddha, it’s best to know that there isn’t any distinction in any respect between any two issues: silence and sound, air and a tree, tea and a cup, and so forth. Listening to every thing as the identical is listening to every thing as it’s, which is to listen to the voice of the Buddha. Seeing every thing as the identical is seeing every thing as it’s, which is to see the Buddha.
