We say concentration but to concentrate your
mind on something is not the true purpose of Zen. True
purpose of Zen is to see things as they are, to observe things as they are, to
let everything go as it goes, and to put everything under control in it's
widest sense. In other words to open up our small mind is Zen practice. So to
control your mind is just an aid to obtain the big mind. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture 67-03-23.
