dude NOBODY is posting for (you)'s jesus christ

you are a paranoid moron

i post my shit here because when i post it anywhere else, i get told "go back to /beg/" even though I've been drawing for 23 years now.

Anybody can be /beg/, /beg/ is a fruitful state of mind, in the beginners mind there are many opportunities to be taken advantage of, in the expert mind there are few.

I hope to remain /beg/ forever, for /beg/ is actually /zen/ mind. /beg/ is the most fun mind, who wouldn't want to be /beg/ forever? instead of the egotisitcal /int/ or ego driven barking mad /draw/fag

jesus just read this damn book why dontcha

EGINNER' S MIN D "In the beginner's mind
there are many possibilities, hut in the expert's
there are few."
People say that practicing Zen is difficult, but there is a
misunderstanding as to why. It is not difficult because it is
hard to sit in the cross-legged position, or to attain enlightenment. It is difficult because it is hard to keep our mind pure
and our practice pure in its fundamental sense. The Zen
school developed in many ways after it was established in
China, but at the same time, it became more and more impure. But I do not want to talk about Chinese Zen or the
history of Zen. I am interested in helping you keep your
practice from becoming impure.
In Japan we have the phrase shoshin, which means "beginner's mind." The goal of practice is always to keep our
beginner's mind. Suppose you recite the Prajna Paramita
Sutra only once. It might be a very good recitation. But what
would happen to you if you recited it twice, three times, four
times, or more? You might easily lose your original attitude
towards it. The same thing will happen in your other Zen
practices. For a while you will keep your beginner's mind,
but if you continue to practice one, two, three years or more,
although you may improve some, you are liable to lose the
limitless meaning of original mind.
