An answer is not important

— Seung Sahn

Many people can give good answers to kong-ans during an interview, but their daily life is not such a "good answer."

Desire, anger and ignorance are always controlling them.

So, understanding kong-ans is not important.

A good answer or a bad answer is not so important.

Answer appears, answer doesn't appear is not so important.

What is most important is your everyday life.

If your daily life is clear moment to moment then kong-ans are not a problem.

Then the kong-an and your life really connect.
