Question
Over the past few months, I have noticed many people practicing zazen at home, always alone, without going to a dojo or having a master.
Some people who used to practice at the dojo have also left and practice alone at home. I don’t understand. Why is it like this?

Answer from Master Kosen
Let people do what they want and continue true practice at the dojo. People want to use zazen for their own ego instead of abandoning the ego for authentic practice. They will achieve nothing and will simply end up abandoning zazen even at home.
