"Re: The answer is in the question"

Question

Manifesting our Ideal in this world does indeed seem to be a heroic struggle.

I want to see Zen as movement, a fluid and inclusive practice, despite its ceremonial, repetitive aspects giving it a rather static appearance.

Do you think that in this struggle, Zen practitioners can enrich their esoteric arsenal with "technologies" suited to our time and the challenges of the contemporary world?
And if so, how can we know our feet are still on the Way?...

Answer from Master Kosen

The question is so good that it stands on its own.

Sometimes questions arise for us, and there are no answers. We simply have to take another step and continue on our way.

Perhaps we will win; perhaps we will lose.
