The five degrees of awakening

Master Kosen – Published on May 4 – teaching

Question

I have read your book “The Five Degrees of Awakening,” and there is something I don’t understand: In the direct experience of zazen, what is the difference between the fourth and fifth degrees? Thank you for all your teachings.

Guillaume

Answer from Master Kosen

Reach the fourth level first; afterward you can concern yourself with the fifth.
