Shoshin (beginner's mind) is followed by Mushin (empty mind), Fudōshin (immovable mind), and Zanshin (remaining mind). A fifth state is sometimes also added as Senshin (enlightened mind). In Budō the practitioner is advised to retain shoshin throughout their training and practice of the martial arts; it is not reserved only for those beginning to practice but is maintained even when reaching the higher levels of mastery. Shoshin-sha is a term used in martial arts to indicate a novice. Shoshin is an influence on the Japanese Metabolism style of architecture, which incorporates concepts from Zen Buddhism and other Asian philosophical traditions into the architectural process and allows those concepts to help shape the design process. Many businesses and people who work in the field of business have adopted or advocate for practicing the concept of shoshin in the business environment, including top executives such as Apple Inc.'s founder and CEO Steve Jobs, and Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff. It is also used or proposed as a way of general living or a way to approach specific fields of life including social work, medical care, teaching, computer programming, gardening, sports, and dealing with chronic diseases such as phenylketonuria.
