Question

En ayant des gros problèmes d'angoisse, est ce que par zazen nous pouvons nous détacher de ces gros problèmes ? ou doit-on se guérir par d'autres moyens pour pouvoir pratiquer une pratique sérieuse du zazen ? Ayant pratiqué pendant presque 3 ans, un jour au dojo j'ai eu une grosse crise d'angoisse et depuis je redoute d'y retourner ! Comment faire ? car si cela devrait recommencer j'ai peur de quitter le zazen et donc gèner les autres. Merci pour votre réponse









Answer from Master Kosen

Effectively: zazen practice relax the mental and allow us not to loose ourselves in a drop of water; as the drop of water gets back to the ocean.

The fact of losing brings me a great suffering and ...
