Question
Doesn’t the title “Zen master” flatter your ego? Aren’t you satisfying a need for power?

Answer from Master Kosen
There is certainly a danger here, a trap most human beings would be only too happy to fall into.
Even after many years of education under a true master, who is supposed to cure these kinds of illnesses, few escape this trap of the ego. It takes great maturity and much experience of the vanity of life and human relationships to avoid it.
