Cultivating An Open Mind
Zen
Master Jizo said that ‘not knowing is the most intimate thing.’ Not
knowing means to be open to all eventualities, to not prejudge a person
or situation. If your mind is full of preconceived notions, there is no
room for an unbiased view. It is like when your hands are full of
objects—you cannot pick up anything new. A closed mind causes separation
and suspicion. Like an umbrella, a mind is only useful when it is open.
The first step toward maintaining an open mind is to understand the
nature of mind or self.
