Rules and Guidelines
规则与指南

To create the ideal conditions for achieving the goals and shared purpose of this retreat and monastery stay, all participants are expected to commit themselves fully and adhere to the following requirements and guidelines:

• The Triple Gem — the Buddha, Dhamma, and Sangha — serves as our guide. Please remain open to learning from the Sangha community throughout the retreat.
• All participants will take refuge in the Triple Gem and observe the Eight Precepts* during the retreat. Please maintain mindfulness, inner calm, and allow peace and joy to permeate your practice.
• Noble Silence is to be observed throughout your stay. This means refraining from casual conversation with others (except when asking questions, participating in interviews, or during designated discussions).
• As with traditional physical retreats, Noble Silence extends beyond speech to include abstaining from social media (e.g., television, internet, texting, email) and all other forms of entertainment and distraction, enabling you to be fully present with yourself.
• All participants must surrender mobile phones, computers, and other electronic devices upon check-in. These will be returned by the duty volunteer at check-out around noon. Please avoid bringing valuables to the retreat.
• Filming, photography, and audio recording are prohibited without prior consent from the Bhantes.
• Entry or exit during the retreat is not permitted unless approved by the Bhantes.
• Smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use are strictly prohibited.
• Please respect and follow instructions from volunteers to ensure a smooth and harmonious retreat for everyone.
• The organizers reserve the right to remove any participant who violates these guidelines or disrupts the retreat environment.
• Use of air conditioning in rooms is discouraged. Rooms are equipped with fans and mosquito-netted windows. You are encouraged to meditate in the meditation hall or Sima Hall during the afternoon.
• All participants will be assigned duties/chores either individually or through a duty roster.
