Question

Does a Zen master always behave appropriately, especially toward a disciple?
Can he not make mistakes?
Is he perfect?

Jean-Baptiste

Answer from Master Kosen

Certainly, the master can make mistakes like anyone else.
But who can ultimately say what is a mistake and what is not?
The most important thing is for life to be driven by a dynamic that is not mistaken; then, in the end, everything takes on meaning, and even mistakes become truths.
