back cover of original Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind	It is to be more—we say “soft mind.” At the same time, it is big mind because we do not stick to anything. We do not see things objectively as something good or bad, or strong or weak because we are strong enough to accept things as it is. So, for us who have big mind there is no need to be afraid of anything. But we do not ignore anything. That is strictness of the way.
