Here's a quote by Shunryu Suzuki-roshi (1905 - 1971), who was responsible
for creating a vigorous Zen movement in America. "So the most difficult thing
is always to keep your beginner's mind. There is no need to have a deep
understanding of Zen. Even though you read much Zen literature, you must read
each sentence with a fresh mind. You should not say, "I know what Zen is," or
"I have attained enlightenment." This is also the real secret of the arts:
always be a beginner. Be very very careful about this point. If you start to
practice zazen, you will begin to appreciate your beginner's mind. It is the
secret of Zen practice."
Science too was supposed to be like this,
fortunately, some scientists remember that science is methodology.
