Re: 30 day retreat
Why sleep little? I still dont understand this aspect of meditative practice...! Surely a refreshed mind is able to prolong effort. All of my 'best' meditations have been whilst refreshed and alert...?
Re: 30 day retreat
I think that they are specifically talking about not sleeping a lot during retreat. In the context of retreat, you will actually find that you need much less sleep than you normally do.chargingbull wrote:Why sleep little?

The non-doing of any evil,
The performance of what's skillful,
The cleansing of one's own mind:
This is the Buddhas' teaching.
