"Me," the Buddha

Master Kosen – Published on December 21 – enlightenment

Question

Some time ago you answered my question: what is beyond
Zen?

You answered: there is you.

If I am only an illusion, should I understand this as “me,” the Buddha?
The inner master I am supposed to discover? (Often the answer to our
questions lies in the question itself…)

Gassho.








Franck Shin Seï.

Answer from Master Kosen

The Buddha is not separate from illusion, but is free of it. It is up to you to choose whether to identify with illusion or freedom.
