Summer 2003 Kyol Che (pronounced "Kill-Chay") There are two sections listed below. "A Typical Retreat Day" provides a basic description of the mechanics of the retreat. "Observations from the Other Side", on the other hand, is an intensely personal account of my experience during the course of this 27 day silent retreat. If you'd like a peek into the bizarre, dark corners of my mind, click on "Observations", but be forewarned - I don't hold anything back. Finally, keep in mind that these are my personal observations and represent only my experience; they do not represent the official teachings or doctrine of the Kwan Um School of Zen in any way.
