GUIDELINES FOR STAYING AT
TUSHITA
Tushita is a semi-monastic
meditation center, not a guesthouse, so we do
ask all of our guests to observe the following guidelines in order to
maintain an atmosphere conducive to inner reflection and meditation:
- Respect all life: do not intentionally kill any
living being, even small insects.
- Respect others' property: do not steal or take
anything not freely given.
- Be honest and straightforward: do not lie or
intentionally deceive others.
- Be celibate: no sexual activity.
- Be alert and mindful: avoid intoxicants such as
alcohol, drugs and cigarettes (if necessary, one can smoke outside
Tushita property).
- Be considerate of others' silence: no singing or
playing music and keep silence in the appropriate areas.
- Be considerate of the monks and nuns: dress
respectfully (please no shorts above the knee, tank-top shirts or tight
and revealing clothing).
Since we do not operate as a guesthouse, we are only able to offer
accommodation to people taking one of our residential courses or on
strict personal retreat. More information about our pre-requisites for
personal retreat can be read here.
MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY!
