10 day retreat at International Dharma Hermitage Suan Mokkh General Information
What is the 10 - Day Retreat ?
It is a very special period of time in one's life which one devotes just to oneself. The time to explore ans learn the Winner side of oneself. Thus getting to know oneself thoroughly, in all aspects e.g. who one is, what one really needs or wants in life, what is the real goal in one's life, how one can accomplish it etc.
The retreat is run monthly all year round. It begins on the last day of the month before and ends on the 11th of the month [e.g. the January retreat starts on December 31st and ends on January 11th]
Why is it ?
Being born into this world without warning is being thrown into this life without any preparation, training or aim at all. One gets lost easily and quickly. Especially in the so called "modern, material world" where most of the people and environments influence or lead or even "force" one to choose a competitive, material way of life to lead. Thus, inevitably, resulting in an undesirable, unhealthy or even a miserable life. A way of life, which one has no time to stop and think it over or notice for everything is always in a hustle and bustle state
The 10- Day retreat provides an opportunity[or probably the only opportunity] for oneself to take a break, and look over things and take a serious review on what has been happening or going on [whether right or wrong] in one's life. the chance to reflect, modify, adjust and/or make changes in one's life.
