Re: "No Mind" - What is it?

Quote:
Questions:

1. Are your situation and her situation the same or different?
2. Who in this scenario is operating with mushin?
If I understand correctly it would be you.

Your daughter would be focused on the ball. Mushin mind focuses on nothing and yet is aware of everything.

Speaking of awareness I noticed recently that while I am driving when I get into a certain state I am visually aware of all three mirrors on my car at the same time. Both side doors and the rear view. yet if I focus on any one of them I loose that awareness. Kinda neat.
