About this listen

"In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." We sit with this famous teaching from Shunryu Suzuki's Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. This episode explores the profound wisdom of Soto Zen through Suzuki's simple, direct talks. We’ll learn how the practice of zazen (sitting meditation) is not about achieving a special state, but about returning, moment by moment, to the open, curious, and boundless mind we already have.
