Question

Harmony soul-brother,
I don’t know if I am very spiritually advanced, and I don’t mind in fact but what I know it is that I did not have any choice!
Because I did not choose to reappear in a Corsican envelope of Man, Virgo star sign with Virgo ascendant with a dominant Mars, who is not afraid to be constantly Pure and Rightful, in an impure and deviating world!
Today that I have reached the absolute mastery, what is impossible for most of men, I do not see as a purer and lasting mastery than that of solid food.
I know that certain Master of chikong, got there; do you know a Human Being who could guide me there? A dopu (at the latest, in Corsica)

Answer from Master Kosen

Yes I went through the process of Jasmuheen myself and I found it. Not to drink during seven days and not to eat during twenty one days, then you do what you want, some do not eat any more for several years: http://www.jasmuheen.com/
It is not a question of asceticism but of an experience filled with joy and happiness, read her book: To live of light. Corsica Free!

death and enlightenment

Everyone gets old, everyone gets sick, everyone dies. So what exactly is the difference at the time of death between an enligthened person and a regular person ? what exactly does enlightenment bring us, since we will die anyway ? Why then sit so much, why not get lost in sensual pleasures, since all of us awaits same faith ?...

effortless being?

After having spent much energy in Zazen and daily present moment awareness, can one reach a sustained natural state of surrender indefinitely? Do masters fall back into suffering occasionally?

Is the Awakening permanent?

I have just read the last question about the awakening, therefore your answer. You did not develop on a point, which is: is the Awakening permanent? I would thus like your point of view. In my opinion, I think everyone can know the awakening. The problem is not to deceive itself over, and in its desire to wake up even more the most pernicious ...

When satori sucks.

I shall want to speak about Satori and I shall mean that we can meditate, we can do zazen all our lives and experiment satori or the kundalini a million times, 4 times a day, even if it is still violence, or isolation, we become a buddha or a god for ourselves but life is not this. Now, if I feel a satori is coming I want to throw it out, it ...

Is the awakening conditioned to the seated position?

When we say that zazen is the practice-realization of the awakening, this awakening remains conditioned to the seated position? Is it different from the Awakening realized by Masters when they are not on the zafu (during the Transmission of the lineage or in an answer to a phenomenon stemming from nature)? Is the Awakening impermanent? ...

"me" the Buddha.

Some time ago you answered to my question: Who is there beyond Zen?You answered me: “there is you.” If I am only one illusion, must I understand, "me" the Buddha, the interior Master that I am supposed to discover? (We often have the answer to our questions in the question itself...) Gassho

A sudden comprehension of the awakening.

Tozan had a sudden comprehension of the awakening, innate. He had a sudden realization. After him, Sosan developed the theory of the degrees, Go I. Your book tackles this subject and brings it up to date, in a way, for those who need it, to give some reference marks. In the sudden way, there is no more reference mark, all the directions have ...
