  • Meditation
  • retreats
  • have
  • been
  • growing
  • in
  • popularity
  • in
  • the
  • western
  • world,
  • but
  • their
  • purpose
  • and
  • descriptions
  • can
  • be
  • difficult
  • to
  • understand.
  • Those
  • of
  • us
  • who
  • did
  • not
  • grow
  • up
  • learning
  • the
  • practice
  • may
  • have
  • a
  • hard
  • time
  • getting
  • their
  • mind
  • around
  • to
  • the
  • benefits.
  • While
  • nothing
  • can
  • susbstitute
  • for
  • direct
  • experience,
  • this
  • book
  • will
  • offer
  • a
  • concrete,
  • comprehensive
  • report
  • to
  • what
  • a
  • potential
  • meditator
  • can
  • expect
  • during
  • a
  • ten
  • day
  • vipassana
  • meditation
  • retreat.
  • It
  • is
  • not
  • simply
  • a
  • memoir
  • to
  • be
  • enjoyed
  • by
  • the
  • casual
  • reader;
  • it
  • was
  • written
  • with
  • the
  • purpose
  • of
  • helping
  • a
  • serious
  • student
  • of
  • the
  • practice.
  • Additionally,
  • light
  • is
  • shed
  • on
  • the
  • difficulties
  • of
  • spending
  • an
  • extended
  • period
  • of
  • time
  • in
  • silence,
  • abstaining
  • from
  • sensual
  • pleasures
  • as
  • per
  • the
  • vows
  • required
  • to attend.
