Markkrauss22 et al,
Again, I have to apologize for responding to a posting without thoroughly
reading it. This is the 2nd one in a row, and the 4th or 5th one in the
last several months. I promise to take more care in the future.
Yes you can learn basic zazen from a book, or from many sites on the web.
There are even previous postings on this site that have a pretty good
instruction set. I'll look for one of these and forward it to you if I find
it.
Learning like this, however, does not allow you to ask questions or get any
feedback on your technique. A teacher is needed for this. The teacher does
not have to be a zen master. Anyone that has practiced zazen for a fair
amount of time could get you started.
Good luck on getting started, and bon voyage...Bill!

Can one truly learn Zazen from reading? Do I need a teacher?
