A nondual state?

Master Kosen – Published on April 19 – concepts

Question

Hello, dear Kosen Thibaut.

In the world of language, when we describe the nondual state, as Ken Wilber would call it, this nonduality is obviously not the concept conveyed through words.

To get to the point that concerns me, I ask you, Stéphane: is there any further development beyond that? What should one do now? You, of course, have decided to transmit a non-Zen Zen… By that I mean the Zen you teach goes beyond the “religion” or “spirituality” people might want to find in it… It is true Zen, a school and not a sect…

But what would you do yourself as a non-monk… a person like me, without religion, without a path, who can no longer follow any way because I reject the wish to lie to myself?

Thank you very much. I would like to receive an answer from you… an opinion… as equals… from Buddha to Buddha… if you prefer.

I send you affectionate greetings…

Answer from Master Kosen

One cannot describe the state of nonduality in the world of language—or can one?
