Etiquette
Wear loose comfortable clothes that cover your shoulders and knees.
Dress in warm layers, as it may be cold in the meditation hall and outside.
The monastery is in the mountains where it is often 10 degrees colder than
Denver. Shoes are not worn inside. Wear sandals or other shoes that are
easy to take on and off, and warm socks if your feet get cold.
Some mediation cushions are available at the monastery; however, some practitioners prefer to bring their own.
Thay is Vietnamese for "teacher" and can be used to address any of the monks at the monastery. The Abbot's name, "Tinh Man" translates to "complete stillness" in English. To address a specific monk, you may use just the title Thay or both their title and name, such as Thay Tinh Man. Nuns are addressed by the title Sư Cô and their name.
