Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org found this information in a GEO magazine about meditation a long time ago, This magazine is on the screed, and he does not know exactly where it is. And the following information is from Peter Gamma s memory:
In Zen Buddhism there is joke.
A student asks is master:
„Master, how long does it take until I am enlightened?“
And the master answered:
„10 years“.
And then the student asked.
„But master, how long does it take, if I make a special effort?“
And the master answered:
„then it takes 20 years.“
