Mike,
Good, no imaginings. Our Zen sesshin and Ch'an retreats are pretty severe. No
nothing of *anything* allowed. Except to be there in spades. ;-)
That is the
True story. ;-)
Sheng Yen's outfit her in the States regularly does 10-day sits at the retreat
center upstate in New York, at a place near Pine Bush. I did two of them.
Only so few because this is their most recent regimen. Seven days used to be
the canonical "canonical".
Canonical.
Way of training. With Shih-fu.
Best!
