Question
Having once, by chance, experienced the clear light of emptiness almost ten years ago, I feel a persistent longing for it.
Today I have a job, a wife who loves me, and good prospects for my social future, and yet I am deeply dissatisfied.
Of course I know we should not “cling” to satori, that all of this is only a dream, but that is easier said than done.
Since then, in my free time, I have taken refuge in playing Go, which in a way allows me to “transcend myself.”
Yet in the end I no longer know what to prioritize in how I live my life.
Do you have any “advice” (or a few blows with a stick ^_^) for me?

By chance, I too delivered a few blows with a stick about ten years ago, but I don’t have time anymore these days.
