What Is Enough Mind?

Enough mind is one of our important Zen teachings. If we have enough mind, then we will not chase after our desire, greed, and illusory thinking. Enough mind helps us to become clear and keeps us from being hooked by any outside situation. When we are clear and have enough mind, it will be natural for us to share whatever is needed by others. There is no ego involved. There is no such idea or concept that “I” am helping “you.”

All we need to do is to let go of our attachment to anything that arises in our mind, and to apply this teaching to our everyday life wholeheartedly. The power from the seed of sharing is in all of us all the time—we just need to recover it.
