QUESTION (resumed) :
How would someone, who reached the achievement but who is victim of a great mental decay, maintain his realisation ?
QUESTION (original) :
I have kind of a strange question. If a person attains self-realization, but then experiences a major mental decline (due to alzhiemers or some other mental disorder)... will they still maintain their self-realization, or will this decline also?
ANSWER :
When we continue zazen our mind is immobile, so it is not necessary to be anxious!
KOSEN!
