Meditation Hall (Gompa) Etiquette

Some behaviour (such as not wearing footwear in the Gompa) is based on eastern tradition but it is mostly to benefit your mind by cultivating respect for the Buddhist teachings which liberate from suffering.

It is respectful to arrive on time and remain for the complete session
Dress modestly: skirts below the knees, shoulders covered and modest necklines
Please leave your head uncovered
Please turn mobile phones off or to silent
The teacher sits higher than the students out of respect for the teachings
Please stand for the teacher to enter the hall and sit after the teacher sits down
Prostrations are optional though placing your palms together at the chest shows respect for the teachings
Respect statues and Dharma books as they represent the Buddha’s teachings. For example, don’t put Dharma material directly on the floor, step over it, place it where you sit, or point your feet at the altar, teacher or holy objects
Feel free to use a chair if sitting cross-legged is or becomes uncomfortable
Maintain silence, especially during teachings, meditations and pujas
At the end of the teachings stand before the teacher gets up
Pets are generally not allowed into the gompa and office/kitchen area for health and safety reasons. Should they require special prayers in the case of illness or death, please contact the Spiritual Program Coordinator at spc@hayagriva.org.au or our Centre on 9367 4817 to arrange a visit.
