Question
Sex: Should I realize this power I have discovered within myself in both its light and dark aspects?
Drugs: I don't want to stop, but I don't know how to control myself. Should I keep going like this?
Rock and roll: I am a guitarist without creativity, and I long for it passionately. Will it come? I have given everything to learning, and I still don't enjoy true music.

Answer from Master Kosen
I teach zazen. I don't teach sex, drugs, or rock and roll? Zazen means switching all that off, at least for a moment, and from there revealing something fresher, approaching everything with a new, detached gaze, at least for a moment. Addiction is the antithesis of creativity.
