If practicing alone is selfish

Question

A great dilemma,



There is no dojo where I live in Senegal, and I practice only from
instructions received online, hoping to respect the spirit
and letter of the master’s teaching as best I can. Hence my question: If it is
selfish to practice alone, what should I do when I have neither a dojo nor a
sangha?



Thank you.

Answer from Master Kosen

If you live near a dojo, practicing alone is selfish, but in your case it is brave.
