Question

Good morning Master,

I am twelve years old, I read Lobstang Rampa. Fourteen years I am afraid of the ghosts I have never seen. Sixteen years I become initiated to yoga. Seventeen years I go on the roads looking for the trail of my life. Twenty seven years I find a way. Thirty years I make the wish looking at a shooting start that my eyes could open themselves to the secret of life.

May 94
It is a point on my forehead which goes down in my stomach goes back up to my heart. I am scared. I am scared. I accept it, it was so easy. Ring around my head. Everything comes from what is not, I am not scared anymore to die, everything goes back up to what which is not. Everything becomes sacred, the stone, the table, the life is precious. I am born.

November 94
That goes up my spine a moment I am aching in a point of my back, then it continues to go up, go up, it resembles to an orgasm but it does not stop. The music is so beautiful, a flower springs out, a star in the sky, I was wandering from thousand of years. I will never be alone. I hear another language, the hidden language the one of the creation, everything talks about it. One equals two, equals three… Everything goes by two. I am on the mountain, I go back down. I cannot do otherwise. I cannot talk about it. That stays in me, despair, why did you abandon me. Then a bridge, again trails to go across. I let myself carry by the flow without any reaction. I am not looking for anything anymore, although it is still here.

2003
I am here, again I go in a quest. Can I, do I have the right to ask for anything as I got everything? I am on the doorstep of the door mid open, I cannot move neither towards the inside, nor the outside. There was a mirror, it broke itself and it got glued again. How do we use such a mirror, what to do with it?

I am thankful to you to care about such a little topic.















Answer from Master Kosen

We know everything from always, the whole thing is to remember it, to absorb it, to master it, and to seize it. For that a practice, a Master and time are necessary.

Goals

We are advised to practice zen without any goal, since it is the path, the process and practice themselves that should be the center and it is through them that we attain our goal. Is it the same in life at large? Should I abandon my goals in life and concentrate on what life gives me?

Burned out

I started practicing Buddhism more than ten years ago, I did retreats, etc., but my life is just as miserable as before, or even more.
