“It does take some internal resolve, dedication, to maintain hanging in right here generally. It’s really easy to come back down for tea, go to your room, go for a hike, all of which is acceptable at occasions, and inappropriate at others. What we’re requested right here at Spirit Rock is tougher than at a Zen monastery. It’s as much as you way more. You must discover it in your self.” –Gil Fronsdal
