Here is an article written by Bernie Jackson, a Jiulong student. He outlines his experience with a Tibetan practice involving trees and the much misunderstood concept of beginner’s mind. Of particular note is his scientific training (he holds a masters degree in electrical engineering). He talks about his experience with this practice as an scientist would by reporting the experience in as much detail as possible, without making unproven conclusions. One is left with a something of immense value…..a sense of wonder.
