Book Excerpt Published in Tricycle Magazine

This is our work. Just to be here, ready to meet whatever is next without expectation or prejudice or preconceptions. Just ‘What is it? What is this, I wonder?’

So please, cultivate your beginner’s mind. Be willing not to be an expert. Be willing not to know. Not knowing is nearest. Not knowing is most intimate.

—Zenkei Blanche Hartman, Seeds for a Boundless Life

Yesterday, Tricycle magazine published a longer, article-length excerpt from Zenkei’s new book online: read full excerpt.

The recently released Seeds for a Boundless Life is now available at the Zen Center bookstores, or can be ordered online (visit Shambhala Publications).
