Who are sentient beings?

Master Kosen – Published on March 13 – buddhism

Question

In his book Return to Silence, Master Dainin Katagiri constantly speaks of “sentient beings.” Who are they? Beings turned toward Buddha? All human beings? Or all living beings? Does Katagiri mean a specific category when he says “sentient beings”?

Thank you in advance.

Philippe

Master Kosen’s answer
