Dhammakaya meditation

 * ... 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)
