Attachment to the master

Master Kosen – Published on October 26 – master-disciple-relationship

Question

At sesshins, I have met people who follow a Western master,
terrified at the thought of being separated from him, losing him, or being rejected.
Often, they have found a new family there and a new attachment…
that grows stronger over time. It is an insoluble contradiction!! It’s
troubling, isn’t it?

Answer from Master Kosen

It is normal to become attached to the people we love. That’s life.
