Is there mind, or not? – Zen Fools

It is said that we should realise mind, but sometimes it is said that there is no mind.

Mind that the Buddha pointed to is the true-Self that is boundless, formless, changeless and nameless. This cannot be said to be existent, or non-existent because it is beyond words. There is nothing but mind, and there is nothing that is not mind. In fact, there cannot be a word ‘mind’ when there is nothing but mind, because there is nothing else to distinguish mind from. This is why it is nameless. Accordingly, everything is mind, and there is nothing that is not mind. Then, that there is no mind means that there is only mind.
