The attachment to the Master.
QUESTION (original) :
I met in a sesshin people who followed a Western Master, panicked at the thought of being separated from him, losing it or being rejected. Eventualy, they've found a new family and a new attachment... which is reinforced with time; is it an insoluble contradiction!! It is annoying, isn't it?
ANSWER :
It is normal to become attached to the people we love, it is life.
KOSEN!
