Retreat Part 2

So I am back.

Enlightened?

No.

Lighter? (feeling)

Oh Gods/Buddha yes.

The food was vegan. The day started at 4:30 am. (No, I’m not kidding). There were five separate hour long sessions of sitting meditation, separated by walking meditation and meals. Silence was maintained throughout the retreat except for a very short private interview on Saturday and Sunday that was held with the gentleman running the retreat.

Am I a Buddhist now?

I don’t know. I think I am test driving Buddhism. But I do like meditation and it seems to work for me.

Would I do another retreat?

In a heart beat.
