General advice

Participants should be aware that this package is designed for those with a real interest in meditation. While prior knowledge or experience is not necessary, beginners will benefit from some reading-up in advance. The most important thing is to remember that quiet and concentration are essential and to do nothing that will disturb the other participants or show disrespect to the teachers and monks leading the meditation classes.
Dress should be respectful as befitting any house of worship (no shorts, mini-skirts, tank tops, sleeveless shirts, etc.) and shoes must be removed before entering. Never sit with your feet pointing towards any Buddha image or other people. Women should remember that no physical contact whatsoever with a monk is permitted. Anything to be given to or received from a monk should be placed on the floor or on a table within reach.
