Question
Hello, Master,
I have just finished my morning zazen, and it only confirms the strange impression I had during the sesshin: with you, it is fresh, luminous, and peaceful. That surprised me, because awakening for me was violent, something crazy. I thought I was Captain Future. I was on cloud nine for a few weeks. I understood what brotherhood meant, and friendship too, but… it does not last. Is it possible to stay at that level all the time? I do not think I want to relive that awakening, even though it was cool. Now I wonder what hishiryo is like. Is it the continuation of that freshness? A little like a morning walk in the forest, bathed in the light of the newly risen sun?
Thank you.
