To maintain the serenity and respect of the temple, all participants are required to wear polite, modest white clothing:
Attire: You may wear either white trousers or a white skirt.
Length: Short skirts and shorts are strictly prohibited.

We would like to share some details regarding the meals provided during the retreat to help you prepare accordingly:
Donation-Based Meals: All meals are generously donated by local restaurants and members of our temple community.
Dietary Restrictions: Because our meals rely on these daily donations, we regret that we are unable to accommodate specific dietary needs or personal preferences (such as specialized allergies or strict nutritional diets) in every case.
Menu Type: Please be informed that our kitchen is not strictly vegetarian. Meals may include a variety of meat and vegetable dishes depending on what has been donated.
If you have severe food allergies or very strict dietary requirements, we kindly recommend bringing your own supplementary food to ensure your comfort and well-being throughout the program.
Meals: We serve food only for breakfast and lunch.
Afternoon & Evening: In accordance with the precepts, there will be no solid food served after noon. However, a variety of beverages (juice, tea, or cocoa) will be provided in the afternoon to sustain your energy throughout the day.
