"Accepting each moment as a brand-new moment is what is meant by beginner’s mind. What you are experiencing may be similar to what you have experienced before, but it is not the same."

Tonight was a "beginner's mind" sit for me. My Zen group filled the room, so I was seated on a meditation bench rather than a cushion. The incense irritated my throat a bit during walking meditation. But it was wonderful to simply sit alone together. I ran sword meditation drills through my head as a focus. It was a beautiful moment.
