311. A kōan cautions us: 'Even if you have realized the Way and attained kenshō, you have just put your head through the gate'. A timely reminder that on the spiritual path, no matter how long we have been at it, we will always be a beginner. But this is no reason to be discouraged. With each step a new start, our practice is always fresh and open to being surprised.
