in Japan the word [Shoshin] is not associated with Zen , (Buddhism) or with Dogen. (and certainly not with S.Suzuki)


The word and concept is such a common(place) one that there is NO Wikipedia page for it (in JP).


is there another instance of this phenomenon ? --------- (e.g.) a German philosophical concept is found in Wikipedia pages of many languages ------------ but NOT in German !

Shoshin (Japanese: 初心) is a concept from Zen Buddhism meaning beginner's mind. It refers to having an attitude of openness, eagerness, and lack of preconceptions when studying, even at an advanced level, just as a beginner would. The term is especially used in the study of Zen Buddhism and Japanese martial arts,[1] and was popularized outside of Japan by Shunryū Suzuki's 1970 book Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind.

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief.
