The Zen Approach is morphing into open-minded mindfulness: the ability to drop away conditioned responses based on unhealthy mental models. The same basic principles are to be found across all wisdom traditions. These principles transcend culturally aligned systems like Zen and Yoga. We need open minds and mindfulness because they enable skillful performance. We cultivate them using techniques that fit nicely into our normal lives, that don't take much time and that payoff in the ability to gracefully navigate and succeed in even the most challenging situations.
