Roshi san you said that we should cultivate a mind that others can believe in. What does that mean? And how do we do that?

The base of TRUST of course is to hold
nothing in your mind. If we sit Zazen and practice the mind of holding onto
nothing, naturally we become someone who can be trusted. Usually people hold
something in their mind, their opinion, their agenda is strong at times, and
you can see that in their face. If we can avoid those people, it is fine, but
if not, we clash against each other, because there are still many thoughts left
in people´s mind and from there their actions come forth. If you see that
person walking in the desert, and see the footsteps, if the person is full of
thought, the footprints will be unclear.
