Impermanence with Noah Levine

What can we be certain about? Reflect for yourself, what can you really be certain about? The Zen master Suzuki Roshi said the best attitude is the attitude of being a beginner. A kind of “I don't know mind - beginners mind.” He said something like, “there's very few options for experts”… when you know it all, but if you can have that attitude of “not knowing,” of having “a beginner's mind”, there's so many more possibilities. Endless possibilities if you don't know it all. You have to create a whole kind of false sense of security by knowing it all. Just don't know. I really love that. In developing the attitude of, “we'll see,” you are connected with this uncertainty. Rather than you have all your plans and your expectations and how much have you suffered in your life about things not working out the way you thought they were going to, but if you can train your mind in such as a way that rather than, “it's going to be like this”… to …. “don't know what it's going to be like. We’ll see”
