The Mind of No Deliberation

In this morning's talk I was going into some of the fundamental features of Zen, and today I want to concentrate on that aspect of Zen practice. A master who was once asked, what is the Tao, the way, replied, walk on. And it is this aspect of Zen which is truly understood by detachment, or having a mind that isn't sticky at any point in its working. To be stopped at a certain point is called having a doubt, as when one fumbles or wobbles or hesitates about something. Trying to find the right solution for the circumstances by thinking it out in a situation where there really is no time to think it out.
