The length of zazen sessions

Master Kosen – Published on December 14 – zazen

Question

Hello,

We often hear in practice groups or at sesshins that zazen sessions practiced alone at home should not exceed 20 minutes.

Why?

Personally, my group meets once a week, and I practice about an hour every day. I do not feel that this causes a problem or degrades my practice. On the contrary, I feel it is the groundwork that forms the foundation for my work in the dojo or at sesshins.

Please shed some light on this subject.

Best regards,












Christophe
