So this "don't know" mind is very important. Keep this "don't know" mind and listen to me, OK?

When you are thinking, your mind and my mind are different. When you cut off all thinking, then your mind and my mind are the same. If you keep "don't know" mind one hundred percent - don't know - at that time, your "don't know" mind, my "don't know" mind, everybody's "don't know" mind are the same. "Don't know" mind has already stopped thinking. Stopped thinking means no thinking. No thinking means empty mind. Empty mind means before thinking. Your before thinking is your substance. My before thinking is my substance (hits his chest). This stick's substance, universal substance, everything's substance, is the same substance.

So, when you keep "don't know" mind one hundred percent - don't know - at that time you are the universe, the universe is you. You and everything have become one. That is, as we say, primary point. So, "don't know" is not don't know, "don't know" is primary point. Primary point's name is "don't know." Some people say primary point's name is mind, or Buddha, or God, or nature, or substance, or absolute, or energy, or holy, or consciousness, or everything. But true primary point has no name, no form, no speech, no word, because it is before thinking. Only when you keep a "don't know" mind one hundred percent - don't know - at that time you and everything have already become one. So I ask you, when you keep "don't know," at that time, are this stick and you the same or different?

Unprejudiced Mind

When we come across a concept that we find difficult to accept, the first thing we should do, especially if it’s something that is integral to the dharma, is to look into it with an unprejudiced mind. We should read everything we can on the subject, not just from the point of view of buddhadharma, but if there are other approaches to it, we need to read about them, too. We need to ask ourselves how they connect with other parts of the doctrine. We have to bring our intelligence into this.

We can never know what is going to happen moment to moment. Yet we search for safety and security in an ever changing world. It’s when we accept impermanence that we once again flow with life instead of resisting. For me, it’s taken bringing compassion to the times that are challenging and knowing that I plan ahead as best I can and then let go. #uncertainty #dontknowmind #pemachodron #wisdom #vulnerability #patience #courage #buddhadharmasangha #wbmindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/BtAI6j5HXsw/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=grxs39xjpn2c

Life is mystery...so much power and energy contained in this experience that is too vast for words...we try to contain it and categorize it neatly to contain our fear of the unknown...it doesn’t work nor is it meant to...instead of giving into and being ruled by fear, we can recognize fear is present and approach life with a beginners mind...with our hearts open...we enter and flow with life...a part of life instead of apart from it. #lifeisamystery #dontknowmind #beginersmind #Buddha #spiritualawakening #wbmindfulness #mindfulness #compassion #clearseeing #awareness https://www.instagram.com/p/BrwD4i-nXoS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1mittkyzq8b8n

The spiritual path is one of mystery/unknown...we shift from old patterns that give the illusion of safety through control and meet whatever arises with openness, curiosity kindness and the willingness to be with rather than run from...this is how we begin to see things as they are rather than how we want them to be...stay with the practice no matter what arises 🙏❤️#mindfulness #spiritualawakening #spiritualjourney #buddhadharmasangha #kindness #dontknowmind #compassion #opentolife #awareness #wbmindfulness https://www.instagram.com/p/BrareT2nIzc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14hj5us2nj84m
