I know less about yoga now than five years ago, and that feels like progress.

Beginner's mind opens. Expert mind closes around what it knows.

Does your practice feel more like gathering knowledge or releasing it?

My tennis serve was rough after a long time off. But drilling the basics reminded me mastery is a loop. To move forward you have to be ready to go back to the start.

#Shoshin (初心), or "beginner's mind", is a central #Zen Buddhist concept emphasizing #openness, #curiosity, and #freedom from preconceptions. Unlike mastery focused on accumulation, shoshin values direct experience and continuous renewal, reflecting Zen's unique approach to #wisdom and spiritual practice.

#Zen practice emphasizes dynamic #MentalStates — such as #NonThinking (#hishiryō), #NoMind (#mushin), #equanimity (#fudōshin), and beginner's mind (#shoshin) — as expressions of Buddhist insight. These qualities arise through embodied #meditation, non-attachment, and integration of #mindfulness in #DailyLife. Here is a brief overview of the key mental states valued in Zen practice. In the coming days, I’ll post detailed exposés on each.

I've run various Linux distros, but with little exposure to other Unix-like operating systems. I want to explore different ways of doing things on a computer, and I'm curious about the BSDs. I've briefly looked at FreeBSD and NetBSD.

Now I'm giving OpenBSD a go with beginner's mind.

I use the OpenBSD install image to create an encrypted, console-only base configuration that can be customized further for various tasks.

This is how I do it...
