When Dogen, a great Zen Master of old, returned home after years of study and practice he was asked what he brought with him to share? His famous reply was, "I've come with nothing but empty hands." Empty hands are precious, they cling to nothing, grab at nothing, carry no baggage at all. These empty hands are fully available to reach out, to touch, feel, comfort and guide. With nothing to hold onto, we are available to everything and everyone. Empty hands are also another way of expressing open heart and mind. As we practice the great art of letting go, not carrying the past along, we are given and filled with all we ever need. Zen is the practice of becoming open, free, and available to give fully and to receive.
