Accomodation

Accommodation at the monastery is in one of the huts situated in the bush; this is usually shared accommodation except in the case of solitary retreatants.  Bedding can be provided, but in the winter, you may wish to bring an extra blanket if you suffer from the cold.  A torch, raincoat or umbrella, and gumboots or other sturdy footwear are necessary.

Those staying at the monastery are expected to attend the core daily spiritual activities.  All visitors are asked to respect the codes of conduct of abstaining from killing stealing, lying, sexual misconduct, and the use of intoxicants, including cigarettes.  Pets are not allowed on the monastery grounds.

The front gate usually is locked by 7:30 pm.  You will need to bring your own vegetarian food, meat may not be cooked in the Bodhi House.
