Question

Dear Master Kosen,

how do you know that a disciple realised satori? How do you know that he/she is awaken?

Answer from Master Kosen

At least he/she wakes up on the morning to go to the dojo

Motivation

Master Kosen, Some people have an innate motivation and need little effort to practice, while for others, it is just the other way round. How can one develop a strong motivation? Thanks.
