Noone needs counselling...

I think Counselling is pure business. In the name of all kinds of therapies , groups and methods -a big industry of counsellors, psycotherapist, psycologists , is flourishing. ( with all due respect ).
I think no one needs counselling if only we can gather the courage to look at our problems and learn the art of relaxing.

What happens when you do a particular therapy or group ? You are just trying to neglect and forget the problems of life for soemtime and you feel good for few days. Very soon, the problem appears again. It makes no difference in long run.

In long run, in reality the only way of solving the problem is to look at them directly. Find out the roots. Thinking only will not help but only confuse further. Right observation as Buddha says or "Observation without judgements" as J. Krishnamurthy says can be the right way.

Noone needs counselling, we only need insight and courage.

Greatest victory of Zen Counselling will be when no one needs it anymore !
