I've been thinking of going on a retreat, most likely at a Zen center or monastery. My research online has given me an idea of availability, cost, what the practice would be like. One FAQ has eminently sensible questions such as:
What are the accommodations like?
What kind of meals are served?
What should I bring?
My favorite question, however, is
Is there coffee served?
I picture the monks having to say "Yes we have coffee. How do you take it?" so often that they decided to use it as a test of their peace of mind.
