The Buddhist Monastic tradition from Asia has only recently found a footing in Western cultures, and for this reason, our structures, protocols, rules, relationships, and ways of doing things can seem strange and perhaps mysterious.
We welcome all sincere practitioners interested in training with our community and we want visitors to feel confident and comfortable with our ways. We will schedule an oreintation for new visitors upon arrival intended to familiarize visitors with important aspects of Buddhism, the monastery, our training, and our tradition.
