Tushita offers a variety of Drop-In Sessions throughout the week. To attend any of these sessions no registration is required, simply show up!

The location of the drop-in sessions changes depending upon what other courses or events are happening at the time, but we put up signs to point you in the right direction. If you are unsure where the event is taking place, please inquire in the reception office.

Please be aware that there will probably be a residential course running at the time of your visit, so please keep silence while at Tushita, and try not to be late!

All Drop-In Sessions are offered on the basis of Dana (donation). There will be a donation box at the back of the hall and we welcome any contribution you'd like to make.

Drop-In Sessions at Tushita:

• Guided Meditation Sessions
• Movie Days
• Pujas
• Review Sessions

Tushita has three meditation halls which, when not being used for courses and retreats, are open for your private (self-guided) meditation practice. Please inquire with the Tushita reception office for more information about when our meditation halls are vacant. 

Tushita also has an excellent Library, with items for loan and sale. The library is open Monday to Saturday from 9:30am - 4pm (with a lunch break between 11:30 - 12:30).

"Gompa" is a Tibetan word which we use for Meditation Hall. Because a Gompa is the location of study, meditation and devotional practices, Buddhists consider them to be holy places. In this tradition, the following modes of behaviour are considered respectful in a Gompa and we ask you to follow them while here:

• Do not point your feet towards the teachers, the altar or any holy object.
• Do not put Dharma materials – prayer books, texts, Dharma books or notebooks with Dharma in them – on the floor, or sit or step over them.
• Do not lie down or do any yoga exercises in the Gompa at any time.
• No idle chit-chat in the Gompa.

Thank you so much for your support.
