When you are fooled by something else, the damage will not be so big. But when you are fooled by yourself, it is fatal. No more medicine.
Shunryu SuzukiIf I tell you something, you will stick to it and limit your own capacity to find out for yourself.
Shunryu SuzukiIn Japan we have the phrase, "Shoshin," which means "beginner's mind." Our "original mind" includes everything within itself. It is always rich and sufficient within itself. This does not mean a closed mind, but actually an empty mind and a ready mind. If your mind is empty, it is always ready for anything. It is open to everything. In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities; in the expert's mind there are few.
Shunryu SuzukiEgo is a social institution with no physical reality. The ego is simply your symbol of yourself.
