Amplify

And your mind does not expect anything from outside, so your mind is always filled, and even though your mind has waves it is not disturbed mind, it is actually more amplified mind. Whatever you experience it means amplifying your mind. You find various meanings of your own mind. It is not disturbance. Do you understand the difference between the two understandings of your mind? Mind which includes everything, mind which is related to something else. Actually the two are maybe the same thing, you know, but understanding is different, or attitude toward your life if different. This is Buddhist understanding of your mind.   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-01-12Edited by DC - Shunryu Suzuki lecture excerpts on cuke.com - from there links to much more. - Go to cuke.com Wha at's New (now at blogger) to see more daily posts.]
