 Traditions and customs

Dressing appropriately is mandatory. We recommend trousers for both men and women. Good manners are also of vital importance - remain calm in all situations. Avoid touching children on the head or with your feet and do not point at people. Showing the soles of your feet to another is considered extremely rude. Remove your shoes in temples. Women must not shake hands with monks or touch them in any way. If you are standing close to a monk, try not to be taller than him, even if it means stooping.
