Along the Path

Bodhidharma’s famous “I don’t know” to the Emperor is characteristic of Zen, which urges us to think no-thought, beyond thinking, to not know, to have a don’t-know mind or a beginner’s mind, to bear witness. A Japanese word for it combines mind (shin) below the character for no-thingness (mu). Mushin isn’t mindless or heartless (you know, an idiot); rather, it means “getting out of one’s own way” … “having no conception, much less preconception” … “not living in one’s head” … “experiencing life in full participation.”
