Why, then, continue practicing zazen?

Master Kosen – Published on March 1 – zazen

Question

1—Someone who KNOWS that their true nature is simply LIFE, and
that they can therefore never move away from it, draw closer to it, or be
separated from it—why, then, continue practicing zazen or anything else?



2—Out of curiosity, are you the Zen monk who met Bernard?



Best wishes.

Answer from Master Kosen

It is precisely because he knows this that he practices zazen intensely.
