QUESTION (resumed) :
Karmic return.
QUESTION (original) :
Two questions: Firstly, I have practised for eighteen years, I haven’t stopped saying to myself that I am not in reality. What about reality?
Secondly, Master Deshimaru taught that we go back inevitably to the infernal cycle of transmigration if our practice is not mushotoku. Do we follow this karmic return until our death? Thanks, all the best.
ANSWER :
To be in reality, it is not to separate from things.
Maître Deshimaru said: - I prefer hell to paradise, at least there one can find his companions, and have a drink with them freely. It is that to be Muchotoku. People who are afraid of the infernal cycle of transmigration are mortally tedious.
KOSEN!
