Question
Hello, Master,
I have practiced zazen for several months, daily at home and up to three times a week at a Zen dojo near me.
I know very experienced practitioners who now practice only at home... and I wonder: at some point in one's practice, can one really free oneself from the sangha? How is that possible?
Thank you for your answer.
Gassho.

Answer from Master Kosen
Bodhisattvas practice with others; Buddhas for themselves and listeners practice alone.
