Question

Dear Barbara, when the five senses, along with thoughts and images, are no longer in the field of
consciousness, what remains? Thank you
in advance for your answer. Jacques.

Answer from Master Kosen

Dear Jacques,

There it is: zazen. We can practice it, but we cannot grasp it. I say it is deep, old, and luminous, but those are only words.
Thank you for the question.
