We allow the participants of our courses and retreats to stay at Monastery provided that the basic rules of discipline are respected.
Buddhist religion is not imposed on our guests. You do not even have to be a Buddhist to come and stay as long as you wish. We teach the way of thinking, not the rules of life.
