Conversation is Speaking and Listening


When you listen to someone, you should give up all your preconceived ideas and your subjective opinions; you should just listen to him, just observe what his way is.

Usually when you listen to some statement, you hear it as a kind of echo of yourself. You are actually listening to your own opinion.

~Shunryu Suzuki, in Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind
