Vipassana meditation retreat in Maryland

A few years ago, Yetka Zarrinkafsh was at a crossroads. She says her life was extremely busy and she needed somewhere to be quiet. That somewhere was a special meditation retreat where they practice the ancient Buddhist technique of Vipassana, meditation in complete silence.

The retreat lasts all day long, every day and with a silent break for meals and sleep. No phones. No TVs. No reading. No writing.

ABC7 was allowed unprecedented access inside a retreat held on Maryland's eastern shore. It was attended by people of all ages, races and backgrounds.
