Question
Hello, Master KOSEN,
At your level of spiritual awareness, how do you handle human limitations and suffering?
I am a Zen monk. My compassion is great, BUT in the long run these repeated karmic mechanisms bore and weary me. As a result, my current attitude is to practice zazen like an oak tree, completely indifferent to what surrounds me.
Yet I have great faith in zazen, but life on this planet seems miserable to me.
Thank you for your answer.

Answer from Master Kosen
Satori should not be hanging from the tip of your nose. There is no special state.
The bodhisattva travels through every dimension and harmonizes with everything and everyone.
He is not even aware of his compassion.
Nothing he encounters is foreign to his own mind; he tirelessly heals himself and others…
