(I also practice meditation, although a different system.) To me, it seems like 10 days can barely begin cracking the ice, so to speak. I think even more powerful results would be achieved by removing yourself from your normal environment for 10 days (just go somewhere else and do something unusual), and then go and do the 10 day meditation boot camp. But of course, very few people can afford the luxury of spending so much time away from work, family, etc. That's just an unfortunate fact of life. |

I have an acquaintance who meditated in the East for some years. He told me that one of the biggest disappointments was that monks who spent years of their life meditating, could be very arrogant and selfish.
I also know of persons who meditate regularly, but never or rarely attended retreats, who seemed very enlightened.
Daily life and retreat may be a false dichotomy, I think the latter group of people were able to see every single moment of life as practice.
