Should we let things happen?

Master Kosen – Published on May 2 – emotions

Question

I would like to know whether we should trust what time brings us. For example, should we let things happen or make them happen ourselves, since we don’t know when we are going to die? In short: Should we strike while the iron is hot?

Answer from Master Kosen

The ideal is no longer to be able to distinguish between what we make happen and what happens.
