Answer from Master Kosen

Of course. Your deep mind suddenly came into play, and its feeling is always joy and the discovery of the absolute present. Satori is not reserved for people who practice zazen. Fortunately, it is present in each of us at every moment. It is neither great nor small; it is
our eternal and infinite consciousness.
