Question
What is humility, and how can I tell whether I am humble?
Yudhisthira
Answer from Master Kosen
Hello, Yudhisthira:
Thank you for your question, but first: who are you?
I think humility means not separating yourself from others. Others and I are one body, one mind; we are not separate. Clearly, it is difficult to arrive at this equality through the frontal brain, so we must think beyond thought. Hishiryo is the secret of zazen and the
secret of humility.
Best regards.
