Question

Why do you think true practice can take place only in the dojo? How could people misuse zazen for their own ego?

Master Kosen’s answer

Let people do what they want, and continue true practice in the dojo. People want to use zazen for their own ego instead of abandoning it for authentic practice. They will get nowhere and simply end up stopping zazen, even at home.
