If you want to read a letter from the Buddha's world, it is necessary to understand Buddha's world.
Shunryu SuzukiNothing outside yourself can cause any trouble. You yourself make the waves in your mind. If you leave your mind as it is, it will become calm. This mind is called big mind.
Shunryu SuzukiThe practice of Zen mind is beginner's mind. The innocence of the first inquiryโwhat am I?โis needed throughout Zen practice. The mind of the beginner is empty, free of the habits of the expert, ready to accept, to doubt, and open to all the possibilities. It is the kind of mind which can see things as they are, which step by step and in a flash can realize the original nature of everything.
Shunryu SuzukiAs soon as you see something, you already start to intellectualize it. As soon as you intellectualize something, it is no longer what you saw.
