In our daily lives, when we experience sadness or a breakdown, our usual instinct is simply to move on and go back to our day-to-day life. However, if we do this, we sometimes end up waiting until we are deeply struggling before addressing the issue. A retreat provides the intense, long time we need to look deeply into our lives and digest these experiences.
Furthermore, “together action” in a retreat—like following the moktak and the jukpi, focusing on formal meals, and chanting and bowing at the same speed as everyone else—is not only calming, but it powerfully teaches us to put our “I, my, me” aside. This ultimately supports the main goal of our practice, which is to understand our true self and help others.
