Question

For someone practicing ZAZEN at home, is it necessary to give up “background noise” such as television, radio, etc., in everyday life?





Hervé, Dunkerque (France).

Answer from Master Kosen

During zazen, it is preferable to practice in quiet, but inner noises are often more disturbing!
