The Chinese Pure Landers I know regularly do this and also 7 day sessions. It's the only way to confront your bored mind & master it. Or a Shingon retreat, doesn't matter, but you literally have to put yourself in that situation with no escape. Doug; you need a 3 day session to break through.

Timely as well for me, as I have found myself "slipping" or lacking in faith and desire to practice lately. Too much stress and as a result have begun to question just about everything, including whether my practice was right for me or even whether to continue at all. Thanks for the post! Good post.
