http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drubchen
preparing now for the drubchen coming up starting next weekend for eight days. we have 36" square space to sit in 17 hours a day for the practice with only toilet and meal breaks. we cannot speak nor ever see the sun for the duration. we can only brush our teeth and wash our face and that is all. they block out the sun and we sleep in only 5 hour shifts.
one must commit that under NO circumstances (in tibet they don't even remove you if you die) must you leave the temple. you are invited and must procure two vouchers from sangha members who believe you will stay in it.
so i have my tart cherry for pain and inflammation because you can imagine the energetic intensity of it! and oregano oil which is a powerful anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, cayenne for circulation and digestion, cell food which is very oxygenating and green food so that i get nutrition but not by eating so much food.
i also have organic green tea powder so that i stay warm and stimulated if necessary. i will purchase a meditation belt that is critical for keeping in the posture. let's see, i guess that's it except four changes of loose fitting comfy pants, and i have these round cotton pads soaked with witch hazel and tea tree oil which i depend on for cleaning my face.
i will be incomunicado from the 14th through the 22.
i am staying on for losar the tibetan new year celebration which will be catered and quite an event in that it is the garchen institutes 10th anniversary and also a long life celebration for h. e. garchen rinpoche.
if you are in los angeles or pheonix or any nearby places i highly recommend getting some friends together and coming out for losar. you must rsvp because it is a catered event.

if you have any suggestions or advise i welcome it. this will be the first i've done this.
may we all be benefitted!
