Master Kosen – Published on April 19 – lives-of-the-masters

Question

How is it possible for cancer to take hold in the body of a Zen master who practices and is so close to his body? Augustine, age 24. Thank you.

Augustine

Master Kosen’s answer

We have to die of something. It could just as well be the flu or malaria.
