Our public meeting last night lasted for nearly two hours—that is about 45 minutes too long! Those long meetings can be a real danger zone for torpor, boredom, listlessness. You might think that’s a circumstantial problem, but I believe it’s a spiritual problem. At first the teaching seems exciting and the dialogue even more engaging—but once you’ve consumed that, you might just get tired of it.
Bored while praying? The monks were too.
