Today was the annual christmas meditation at my temple. It lasts 6 hrs
But since there was tons of stuff to do this weekend and the snow storm is coming tomorrow, I decided to do 3 hrs. The actual reason is that I was not sure if I could do 6 hrs of meditation... I've been a bit lazy that I do not go to the temple every Sunday recently...
Anyhow, I did it! 3 hrs
It was long, I cannot lie. During the meditation, my mind was everywhere. I was thinking like
"What should I get for my friend for christmas?"
or
"Oh, I have to go to the store to buy more christmas cards"
Also many christmas songs were in my head! (listening to too much music) I was bothered very much in the beginning. But the power of the group meditation is amazing. Also the ambiance at the temple helped a lot. I certainly cannot meditate for 3 hrs in my room alone. Because there were other meditators in a room today, I was able to last that long
