An abandoned kesa

Master Kosen – Published on June 12 – kesa

Question

Master, at the dojo where I practice, there is a kesa abandoned by someone who no longer practices (although apparently they said they would return ‘someday’). Can I keep the spirit of that great kesa alive by using it for zazen at the dojo while no one else uses it, or should I leave it abandoned?

Neither for me nor for the kesa. Perhaps for the Dharma; I do not know.



Gassho.
