CENTRE POLICIES

At Mahamudra Centre, our policies are designed to create a respectful, supportive, and safe environment for all who visit.

At Mahamudra Centre, all residents and visitors are asked to follow these five ethical guidelines while on the property:

​

  • Protect living beings (refrain from killing, even small insects)

  • Respect others’ belongings (refrain from stealing and taking anything not freely given)

  • Speak truthfully (refrain from lying)

  • Refrain from sexual contact (to create a space for spiritual introspection and development with less distraction; dressing modestly is also encouraged)

  • Refrain from using intoxicants, e.g. alcohol, tobacco, etc. (to help cultivate clarity of mind and body, and create a safe, calm environment for everyone)

pet policy

We have a no pet policy, with two exceptions:​

  1. If you are travelling with your ​dog, we invite you to stop ​t​o walk your pet around t​h​e stupa at the entrance​ of the property, walking clockwise 3 times as a blessing, but ​please not on other parts of the property and ​always keep your pet ​o​n the lead or ​in its crate​. 

  2. With advance special permission from the office.

 

​This rule is necessary because​ we have endangered bird life on our property​, particularly brown teals​ and banded rails that can be scared and hurt by dogs, especially in nesting areas.
