- ... that meditation teacher Luang Pu Sodh Candasaro set up a "meditation workshop" to practice Dhammakaya meditation in shifts?Source: "To facilitate this high-level approach, Luang Phaw Sot developed a meditation workshop (Thai rongngahn thamvijja). ... The workshop operated all day, every day (meditators working in six hour shifts)." (Mackenzie 2007, p.32)
- ALT1:... that the tradition of Dhammakaya meditation explains advanced stages in terms of inner bodies (pictured), which one scholar compared to Russian dolls? Source: "In the Dhammakaya meditation there are five levels of Dhammakaya to be achieved. As we have seen they are 'Russian-doll' like arrangements; the more refined image (although larger) emerges from within the previous (less refined) image as the meditator advances in concentration and insight." (Mackenzie 2007, p.107)

This is a newly promoted GA. It is long enough and was nominated soon enough. Either of the proposed hooks could be used, both have inline citations. The image, and the others in the article, are appropriately licensed. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. QPQ has been done. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:31, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
