It could be said that when meditating with our eyes half-shut gazing at a wall or a spot of floor that we're de facto meditating alone. But that isn't entirely accurate. Our practice is ever changing from moment to moment. There may be times when sitting in seclusion is preferable, other times in person with others, or currently, relying on video to meditate with others. Regardless of whatever scenario we find ourselves in, we are always part of the Sangha, and we meditate not for ourselves, but for the sake of all beings.
