Question
Hello, Master Kosen,
A few years ago, for about a year, I occasionally attended your Montpellier dojo and did several sesshins in the Caroux.
I suddenly stopped everything following anxiety attacks that severely affected me and took a year and a half to overcome.
Afterward, I did not resume practice, but I have always kept a fond memory of my first sesshin and your very endearing sangha.
A few weeks ago, I passed one of your female disciples in my village; she did not see me. Since then, I have dreamed of her twice. In the first dream, she said about me, "He has returned" (meaning to Zen practice), and last night I dreamed of her again. She made me want to practice (Buddhism, I mean). I find this very strange. I should say that at the time this disciple made a strong impression on me, through her charisma and a kind of clairvoyance, I would say. How should I interpret this? Do I need to give myself a kick in the ass?
Best wishes.
