Taking Refuge in Our Spiritual Home

Bring the mindfulness practices and the larger community of Deer Park Monastery straight into your home, turning your apartment or house into the Ocean of Peace Meditation Hall, and nourishing the roots that we all share here in the valley of the hidden mountain. We will celebrate online the past twenty years since Thay first inaugurated the monastery in the Oak Grove by bringing back many of the monks and nuns who were present here then—the ones who rolled up their sleeves to refurbish the abandoned buildings, transform the dry chaparral into serene ponds and groves, as well as touch you with their talks, their deep listening, and their capacity to bring transformation and healing to you and your families.

Please take some time before the retreat starts, to follow these (links below):
