Have already started taking bets on how long I’m going to last in this 10-day meditation course on the east coast of Thailand.
Here’s the rules and why the spread is attracting so much attention from pals:
• Keep complete silence
• Refrain from
* destroying all forms of life
* taking things without permission
* harming the other by speech
* any sexual activity, mentally, verbally or bodily
* smoking or intoxicating oneself with any intoxicant
* having a meal in between afternoon and before dawn
* beautifying or entertaining oneself
* sleeping or sitting on luxurious bed or seat
• Stay the whole 10 days
• Observe the schedule strictly (see the attached schedule)
This is to keep oneself to oneself only, no one else!
…am I nervous? You bet I am. Never mind the no smoking/drinking/Facebook(!)/talking aspect of it, that part actually intrigues me. but no matter who you are, you’re damn well bound to learn a lot about yourself and I just don’t know if that’s an education I’m ready for.
Apologies in advance for whatever I try and pass onto you from this the next time we talk.
