To create and maintain an environment supportive of a spiritual life we request that all our guests follow some simple requirements to ensure a pleasant and harmonious stay.

While you are on the property please make every attempt to abide by:

Five Lay Precepts:

• 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.

• There should be no sexual activity especially on ‘the hill’, the area above the car park where the meditation hall and the nunnery are situated.

• No intoxicants such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes are acceptable.

• Please do not bring animals onto the property, except on specially nominated animal blessing days, or of course, in the case of guide dogs or assistance dogs.

Our Dress Code:

• We respectfully ask that you and your guests consider our monks and nuns and observe our dress code in all public places, especially on the ‘hill’ and in the meditation hall.

• Please do not wear revealing clothing, low-cut or strappy tops, see-through clothing or very tight attire. 

• Shirts with long or short sleeves, covering the upper body and shoulders, and pants or dresses, that are knee-length or longer, are appropriate for all public areas.
