Questions to Master Deshimaru

Question

How can a busy career be reconciled with the practice of Zen?

Answer

It is lust because your life is so busy that the practice of Zen will be so good for it. You will do what you have to do much better because you will be concentrated, and you may also rid yourself of a mass of useless things. You will see your everyday life with new eyes. One koan says, "when mind is free everything around is free."
