Most of these centers offer ten-day residential courses, during which the participants are taught basics of the method, live in discipline and require hard, serious work.

There are three steps to the training. The first step is to follow the moral rules and abstain from killing, stealing, sex, telling lies and using intoxicants during the period of the course. The next step is to learn to concentrate on the process of breathing and observing and understanding sensations throughout the body and last of all to learn meditation for love and compassion for all. The entire practice of meditation is actually a mental training to relieve oneself from stress and train our mind to its fullest potential.
