Question
Hello, Master. You live like everyone else and, I imagine, worry like everyone else about tomorrow and the world we live in. Some speak of a global conspiracy to turn us into sheep so they can do whatever they want with us. Do you believe that? What about today’s wars? Some say there is manipulation, that people govern for power and money, and that the interests served are only those of a few. Doing zazen every day is not much use. I understood the mind of emptiness a good while ago, but if people continue in the illusion of power and materialism, what is the point? Where are we heading, if not toward power in the hands of a few who always rule while the sheep simply follow?
Thank you.
