Thank you for this interesting interview. I agree with Koun. Regardless of the truth, depth, intensity, or profundity of kensho, what really matters is what we do with our lives afterwards. Those who really drop self and drop dropping move on from those mental phenomena and work as bodhisattvas to alleviate the suffering of others. Their private practice is just that: private. Explaining it to others does not help those people overcome their own suffering.
ReplyDeletevery interesting and I find myself in agreement with your question.
