Mind is harder to describe. It is not a “thing” we can point to as easily as we can identify the body or speech. However deeply we investigate this aspect of being, we can’t really locate any definite object that we can call mind….
At best, centuries of investigation have been able to determine the mind has no specific location, shape, color, form, or any other tangible quality we can ascribe to other basic aspects….
In fact, the more scientists scrutinize mental activity the more closely they approach the Buddhist understanding of mind as a perpetually evolving EVENT rather than a distinct entity.
…….a constantly evolving occurrence arising through the interaction of neurological habits and the unpredictable elements of immediate experience.
When we look at our mind, it’s like trying to see the back of our head without the aid of a mirror.

The Tibetan Buddhist term for mind is sem:  That which knows. Not so much an object as a capacity to recognize and reflect on our experiences. The brain is the physical support for the mind.

The mind is, in many ways, like the ocean. The “color” changes from day to day or moment to moment, reflecting the thoughts, emotions, and so on passing “overhead”, so to speak. But the mind itself, like the ocean, never changes. It’s always clean and clear, no matter what it is reflecting.

The neuronal gossip that keeps you from seeing your mind in its fullness doesn’t really change the fundamental nature of your mind. Thoughts like “I’m ugly, I’m stupid, or I’m boring are nothing more than a kind of biological mud, temporarily obscuring the brilliant qualities of Buddha nature or natural mind.

Thinking is the natural activity of the mind. Meditation is not about stopping your thoughts. It is simply a process of resting the mind in its natural state, which is open and naturally aware of thoughts, emotions, and sensations as they occur. It is like a river.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be a slave to whatever your mind produces.
