GUIDELINES FOR STAYING AT TUSHITA

Tushita is a semi-monastic meditation center, not a guesthouse, so we do ask all of our guests to observe the following guidelines in order to maintain an atmosphere conducive to inner reflection and meditation:

• 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.
• Be celibate: no sexual activity.
• Be alert and mindful: avoid intoxicants such as alcohol, drugs and cigarettes (if necessary, one can smoke outside Tushita property).
• Be considerate of others' silence: no singing or playing music and keep silence in the appropriate areas.
• Be considerate of the monks and nuns: dress respectfully (please no shorts above the knee, tank-top shirts or tight and revealing clothing).

MAY ALL BEINGS BE HAPPY!
