“Um dos aspectos mais importantes a serem identificados pelo buscador
de si mesmo é a máscara. A máscara é um fingir ser. Trata-se de um
mecanismo que você criou para sobreviver aos choques de exclusão e
rejeição. Em determinado momento, você aprendeu que, ao usar a máscara,
você consegue tirar do outro alguma energia. Mas, quando pode
identificar a máscara, você percebe que esse é um mecanismo destrutivo; é
um dos instrumentos que faz seu coração permanecer fechado – é o que te lança no inferno.”

“One of the most important aspects for the spiritual seeker to identify is their mask. A mask is a total pretense. It is a mechanism created in order to survive the shocks of exclusion and rejection we have experienced. At one point in time, we learned that by using a mask, we were able to get some energy from the other. However, when we are able to identify our mask, we perceive that this is a destructive mechanism: it is one of the instruments that keep our hearts closed. It is what catapults us into the realm of hell.”

Via Daily Dharma / June 2, 2016: Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind
Beginner’s
mind is Zen practice in action. It is the mind that is innocent of
preconceptions and expectations, judgments and prejudices. Beginner’s
mind is just present to explore and observe and see “things as they
are.”
