Description
The communal three-year, three-month meditative retreat—during which a group of men or women remain sequestered from the world outside, doing ten or more hours of focused tantric practice each day—plays an increasingly vital role in the contemplative culture of Tibetan Buddhist communities all over the world. This is a trilingual fieldwork-based study of the communal three-year, three-month retreat.
