Question

I have just read the question of one of your disciples about his absolute mastery and I visited the site of jasmuheen. I must admit that I found it somehow worrying...

I know that you met this person but I am astonished to see a Zen Master adhering to the new age theses (kind of marvellous shallow and thwarting, but this is only as for me).

So long,

Gassho

Answer from Master Kosen

It is very often necessary to go beyond appearances and especially on the Net, and to seek deeper to find, the pearl.
This woman who seems to be thirty but is in fact fifty, remained more than 5 years without eating and in perfect health, even if she is a bit flat and that her language is very different from mine, I only feel for her love, respect and gratitude.
You take what is necessary for you and you leave the rest.
Thanks to her, I’ve been through one of the strongest and most decisive experiences of my life.

About reiki

Hello Stephane, My question is about reiki. It was done to me, then I discussed with the person who had applied it to me.
