Question
I wonder what criteria determine whether you answer a particular question.
When I see this, I want to come punch you in the face. Not answering a question that tortures someone, eats away at them, refusing to help that person—it makes them feel they really are too stupid and not even worthy of Buddha, not worthy of living, basically.
It is disgusting to make divisions, to judge people without knowing them.
What’s the matter? What’s wrong with my face? Don’t you like my name?

Answer from Master Kosen
All the questions that have already been answered a hundred times, whose answers are already on the site—people just have to make the effort to read all the material already available or enter a keyword.
All the people who think they are writing to a fortune-teller, or ask me, for example, how to lose weight, or ask questions solely to keep the discussion going, but have absolutely no intention of getting their hands dirty.
Or jumpy little types like you who insult me or want to punch me in the face but have never taken any slaps apart from those their mommy gave them.
