Attended a one day retreat, and came back with more new insights, and the determination to brush up on my practice.

No matter what practice we do, no matter which religion we choose to believe in, this 3 key components should never be missing....
One must first have the Faith, before we can make Aspirations and finally embark on our Practice
Throughout the retreat, there was a "variety" of practice. Walking ones, bowing ones, seated ones and silent ones, percepts to follow, mindfulness and awareness...
Perhaps the hardest for some were the seated ones, where you have to fight the numbness and pain in the legs. For others, maybe it's the Noble Silence...
Can man live in silence? Is man supposed to live in silence?
But how can u ever hear yourself if u surround yourself with the noise and distractions of the society, of ur peers, or of this virtual reality?
As you are reading this now, are u really "listening" to what I have to say, or is your thoughts already bringing you elsewhere? say hi to your thoughts for me....
