Visiting
Muttodaya
Day visitors are welcome to use the
meditation hall and the library any time. Meeting a monk is possible
after the meal and after the evening puja or by appointment.
A
limited number of lay practicioners can stay and practise at the
monastery provided they have registered by eMail, phone or letter and
their registration has been confirmed by the sangha. Guests are
required to participate in the daily activities and follow the eight
precepts:
1. To refrain from killing any living beings.
2. To refrain from taking what is not given.
3. To refrain from any sexual activity.
4. To refrain from lying and unwholesome speach.
5. To refrain from intoxication with alcohol or drugs.
6. To refrain from eating after noon.
7. To refrain from entertainment and beautifying the body.
8. To refrain from luxurious beds (sleeping too much).
All
guests have to follow the daily schedule and activities (exceptions for
health reasons can be discussed with the senior monk). Mutual respect
and consideration, maintaining a quiet meditative atmosphere,
cleanliness and heedfulness are the pillars of a harmonious communal
life.
