I then examine a passage from the Ariyapariyesana Sutta in which the Buddha describes his awakening as a shift from a Place to a Ground.

Stephen Batchelor’s Dharma Talk on The Groundless Ground

                                              Everything
Turns into writing a name for a day
                                                  Someone
is having a birthday and someone is getting
married and someone is telling a joke
