About this episode

If you're drawn to a 10-day Vipassana retreat but worried you won't cope, this episode is for you!

Following my reflections in the last episode, this is a practical guide. Speaking as a participant, I've put together the most complete preparation guide, so you can step into the silence well prepared and avoid the pitfalls.

Highlights: Check-in, the rules of silence and the daily routine What showering, eating and sleeping are really like How to pack: what's best to bring and what you must not bring How to apply, and my advice Common worries, answered Tips for daily life and staying in the right frame of mind during the course How to "come back to everyday life": practice after the course and how to integrate it

If you're watching, hesitating or getting ready to apply, this is the guide you need.

The episode is in Mandarin Chinese. These notes are translated from my original show notes.
