How can I be sure I am practicing zazen for what it is?

Master Kosen – Published on October 19 – zazen

Question

I am very interested in everything to do with Zen, and I have
recently started practicing on my own, without a guide. Your site has clarified many things for me, and
I will soon go to a dojo to learn.

My question is this: how can I be sure, if that is possible, that
I am practicing zazen for what it really is, and not for what it
represents to me?



Best wishes,








Greg
