Question

Up to what point in practice is a master’s guidance necessary? Sometimes I think I am stuck and my master is unable to help—or perhaps my state of mind will not accept it?

Answer from Master Kosen

Who is stuck?

Who needs help? Do not worry; the master sees you. You are not alone.

Best wishes,

Kosen
