Hi all
I follow Theravada Buddhism, well I used to, lately I've let it slip and am not as happy as a consequence. I know what I need to do to rectify this, but I wanted to ask peoples' experience of Buddhist retreats. I'd love to attend a weekend or perhaps even a week long one, but I've never even been to a monastery (aside from coffee outside a Kadampa monastery and I was warned to stay away from that school).
The few Theravada monasteries in the UK seem to have huge waiting lists, and not being able to drive is an issue. Would I still benefit from attending a monastery of a different school?
Many thanks, and look forward to reading your different experiences.
