Facilities
You’re also welcome to visit our excellent library, or use one of our 3 meditation halls for your own practice.
Since we have ongoing residential courses and retreats, we ask visitors to help support our students by keeping silence while here.
We hope that this retreat environment makes your visit more special, and warmly welcome you to stop by for a taste of Tushita.
