October 2012 saw me retreat to the Himalayas for a fortnight of quiet contemplative and meditative break. I believe such solitary breaks to be very crucial for every one to take, irrespective of whether one is a practitioner or not. While for lay people such a break helps in 'seeing' the mental chatter arising from urban distractions and attractions, and quietening them down to some extent so as to understand the reasons better and perhaps develop antidotes to them; to a practitioner a break of this kind helps in the transformation of teachings into a continual mind stream through the undisturbed process of reading/listening, contemplating and meditating, better known as the Three Wisdom Tools.
As Lama Longchenpa once said: "Worldly pre-occupations never end; they end when we die or when we drop them. Such is their nature."
Go ahead, put in that leave application and go! The world will go on, anyway! :) May all beings benefit,
