Join a Retreat

If you are able to enjoy long holidays, it’s a good opportunity to join a meditation retreat. At the retreat you will be part of a group under the supervision of a teaching monk. The rhythm and atmosphere of the retreat can help you to enjoy better mental and spiritual development. When you meditate many sessions a day and practice as group, it can enhance motivation.

Retreats also offer the chance to meet other like-minded people. Anyone who loves to meditate distinguishes themselves as one ready to benefit society. One who meditates will discover peacefulness inside. When we are peaceful, we don’t want to hurt or disturb others. Aside from non-harm, we want to share with, support or help out others more. Friends who meditate are more likely to be your ‘good friends’.
