Why do some people practice alone?

Master Kosen – Published on April 1 – practice

Question

Over the past few months, I have noticed many people practicing zazen alone at home, without going to a dojo, without a master. Other people who used to practice in a dojo have also left and now practice alone at home. I don’t understand. Why is this?

Answer from Master Kosen

The world is becoming increasingly selfish and individualistic. Such practices lead nowhere. We must not think only of ourselves when it comes to practice; the spirit of the Way is very important.
