1st time visitors are allowed to stay for periods of up to 2 weeks FREE
they do NOT charge for room or board
accommodations are very simple - dormitory style guest house or
platforms where tents may be pitched under the trees in the orchard
recommended visitors bring a flashlight, an alarm clock or watch, a tent
(if you have one), a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad & loose-fitting clothing
ALL visitors are asked to observe the 8 precepts and to participate fully in the daily schedule of the monastery
including 2 group meditation periods (early morning and evening)
2 short work periods, morning and late afternoon
1 communal meal mid-morning
after-meal clean up
a short period for questions and answers before the afternoon work period
and the rest of the day free to meditate
Each visitor is assigned an individual sitting platform and walking path in the orchard,
and is free to divide the time for walking, sitting, and resting as he/she sees fit.
If you would like to come for an overnight visit, write or call the monastery to obtain permission
and to guarantee that the monastery is open for visitors at the time you would like to come
