Although it is not at all necessary or required to be a Buddhist or to become a Buddhist to come and stay at the Meditation Center, you will have the opportunity to live on a daily basis with and within a community of modern buddhist practitioners. This entails refraining from harmful or negative behavior during your stay, such as killing, stealing, abusive behavior, noise pollution, use of alcohol or illegal substances, etc.

We ask everyone to sign a commitment in this regard, for the well-being of each and every one and for the preservation of the standards of this institution.
