    I've been in China now for several months and it's absolutely impossible for me to get productive. I've had a few spouts of it, but in the end I am always eventually boozing in some club.

    So with time becoming more precious I have decided to go down to Thailand and join a monastery. I have done the research and it's completely practical. I will leave in a month or two, and commit to at least 3 months of practice.

    Has anyone tried this before? Any advice will be appreciated.

    not even a book or pencil is allowed. Some potentially want my eyebrows as well.

    are you implying this is a one way ticket, or just being friendly?

    actually i was just saying that if your joining a monstry where you cant use a computer i guess you will be leaving sciforums. You dont strike me as the kind of person to make a song and dance about that fact so i was wishing you well

    well thank you, it's always nice to be recognized. and you are right, one day i would have just disappeared without warning.

    And regarding the topic. has anyone committed to intensive meditation? I'd like some post-experience advice.
