Question

Dearest Master Barbara Kosen:

My question is brief. I simply want to know what the difference is between satori and samadhi???

These terms confuse me a little because in both, I think, in my humble opinion, you experience a feeling of peace and harmony…
Thank you very much for your answer…
Hugs…

Answer from Master Kosen

Thank you for your question, Javier. Samadhi is the state of concentration in zazen; it is zazen. Zazen is satori. There is no difference when body and mind are completely united. Likewise, in everyday life, satori manifests when the self is in harmony with the cosmic system.
