Zazen cannot be explained

Master Kosen – Published on November 12 – zazen

Question

I have always read and heard that zazen cannot be explained but must be
practiced. Yet you give many explanations. Why?

Answer from Master Kosen

The zazen you do depends enormously on your knowledge of the true nature of yourself and all things. Zazen is a pure marvel, it is true, but it also depends on the state of mind in which you practice it.
