We attended a 2-day Meditation Retreat hosted by Wat Suan Dok,
the Buddhist University in Chiang Mai.
the Buddhist University in Chiang Mai.
We ate our meals in silence to maintain our meditative state.
All of us maintained silence during a 26-hour period which in fact was quite nice. It was refreshing not to have to engage with everyone that we met.
Our mediation class included participants from Albania, Russia, Finland, Spain, France, Britain, Brazil, El Salvador and South Africa.
The insights and methods of concentration that we learned we hope to integrate into our daily life.
My experience there led me to this quote: "The self is not something ready-made, but something in continuous formation through choice of action." John Dewey
