Information for Visitors
Tuesday, 14 August 2007

When visiting religious buildings or a monk�s dwelling (kuti) it is proper to:

  • Remove your shoes before entering.
  • When inside, do not step over others sitting on the floor, it is best to lower your head as you walk past those seated on the floor.
  • When you sit on the floor, please do not point your feet at the alter. It is best to sit with the feet to one side.
  • Please do not touch the murals, they are in advanced in years and in need of TLC, however, photographs are permitted.
  • If you want to chat with someone please do so softly as others may want to meditate.

Remember to:

  • Be careful of your belongings. Everyone who comes to a Buddhist temple doesn't necessarily keep the five precepts, including thieves.
  • Behave respectfully - don't dance, sing, shout or act out while inside the monastery grounds.
  • Please dress appropriately - both men and women.
