Dear friends,

I am gently building up a retreat. The septic and access roads are done. I
am soon to build a series of "kutii" - huts for monks and retreaters. I
just wish to check that the information I was given in relation to their
recommended size, or maximum-minimum, as found in the Theravaada tradition,
is correct. What do the Scriptures actually say? What is actualla
implemented in the different South-East Asia countries.

I would be grateful for any help on the matter, with references if
Scriptures are mentioned.

Mettaa-cittena.
