ENTRY INTO DEER PARK
The Deer Park sangha would like to welcome you to this campus and make your visit or stay as comfortable and
stress free as possible.
To this end we have implemented a student/visitor policy so that all of us have a common understanding of the
norms and guidelines for the do’s and don’ts on this precious ground.
The right to admission onto the Deer Park campus and the enjoyment of its facilities and programs is reserved by
the management. The management reserves the right to refuse admission or to remove any visitor who is in
violation of these rules or for any other reason at the sole discretion of the management. We have a zero-
tolerance policy towards any sexual misbehaviour, harassment, or bullying. If you wish to read the full and detailed
Deer Park Policy for Dharma Students, Guests and Visitors please contact the front office for a soft copy.
This is being explicitly stated so that you have a memorable experience of your visit/stay at Deer Park and go home
thinking of Deer Park as your home away from home.
Please understand that by entering the Deer Park campus you are giving consent to following these guidelines and
agree to abide by the Code of Conduct in the spirit of cooperation and sangha, for the benefit of all beings so that
they and you can partake of the nectar of the Dharma teachings without any obstacles.
