Question
Hello, Master Kosen,
Practicing meditation and the Dharma as best I can, is it possible to attain realization without being a master's disciple?
Is it harmful to practice without guides?
(For meditation practices, I was trained by competent people but continue alone.)
The underlying question might be: Can we break the ego on our own?

Answer from Master Kosen
For my part, it took forty-five years before I could now practice alone. But others may be faster.
