Concept of Always a Beginner
    #14337007 - 04/23/11 03:27 AM (12 years, 9 months ago)

In life its best if you consider yourself "always a beginner", as its the safest way to do things. In zen its neccessary to be open to starting over, all the time.

I guess every moment is a new rebirth. What does this mean to you?

When we are a beginner, we are open to/accepting of all things.  We have not formed any concepts yet.  This openness without concept is non-conceptual awareness.

To "always be a beginner" is to reside in non-conceptual awareness.  To "start over all the time" is to stay in non-conceptual awareness as concepts arise and fall away.

I live my life by this concept. For the past ten years or more it has greatly effected the way I deal with the outside world.


Thinking this way has allowed my martial arts ability to thrive and has led me to the highest levels of the Jiu Jitsu and Kung Fu worlds.

Mix three bags of mushrooms add 1 cup of humbleness stir in some learning and let sit.

The ability to learn something, the ability to re-learn something. The knowledge of forgetting everything you learned so you can know more.



β€œNotice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.”

β€œusing no way as a way, using no limitations as a limitation.”

β€œAll fixed set patterns are incapable of adaptability or pliability. The truth is outside of all fixed patterns.”
