Beginners Mind

A woman with a pram, stuck in snow, in Denmark, with a story to tell, and a message about beginners mind.

First/beginners mind
is the widest
and most completely
fathomless.
Even if Buddhas
explain it fully
such explanation
will never be enough.

A verse from the ordination ceremony.

  1. and its a reminder of the mistakes we can make about others based on appearances. Years ago in San Francisco I was being followed, I thought, by a homeless looking person, a bit too close for comfort, at least in my mind. Turned out that I had dropped my credit card and the poor man was just trying to catch up to me to return it!
