I'm just back from thirteen nights on the Holy Isle. I think this is the best retreat I've ever been on. Just checking into the Holy Isle the way I usually do at the Samye Ling is probably the way to go in future. Being with someone you can have a wee chat to while on retreat is also very good. Before the end, I was able to meditate for four hours without moving or having any kind of break. Well, I did that one morning, but it wasn't any trouble really. This is what I hope to do in future. Go to my hut in the morning and come back at lunch. Winnie is up the allotment doing this right now!! She has been very good for my practice. I wouldn't have been on the Holy Isle if she hadn't suggested it. She's still got two weeks before she goes home.
