A single life without children

Master Kosen – Published on June 10 – daily-life

Question

Zen recommends a single life without children because the mind is filled with emotions too strong for complete detachment. But if we stop having children, how will all these souls ever evolve toward awakening? Thank you.

Answer from Master Kosen

If the mind needs special conditions to be at peace, it is not free and therefore not at peace.
Long live kids.
