Where can I find the joy of living?

Question

What should I do, and where can I find the joy of living? I feel as though I have nothing left to do on earth. I would almost be glad to die… Life no longer interests me…

Answer from Master Kosen

Listen: In the morning, you wake up around 6:30 and create your day—health, joy, abundance. Then you go to a vineyard you know and look at the grid in the sky, putting whatever you want into it. Then you get on your motorcycle and go to the dojo, where you practice zazen for an hour and a half. Then you do half an hour of strength training before breakfast. Afterward, you smoke a little pipe while organizing the day with your associates on the terrace of your favorite café. And then, very important, pool. Obviously, you win, kiss everyone, and pay the bill. Then the day can begin, and I swear it will be magnificent.
