“When we live in the spirit of gratitude, there will be much happiness in our life. The one who is grateful is the one who has much happiness, while the one who is ungrateful will not be able to have happiness.” From Two Treasures by Thich Nhat Hanh

If you are coming here for the day only, please email office@bluecliffmonastery.org and let us know how many will be here for the meal. This will help us plan better for food.

For those who want to stay overnight, you are welcome to register for a Seasonal Retreat with arrival on Wednesday, November 23, Thursday, November 24, or Friday, November 25, between 2 and 5 pm.

Dana/Donations are one key way to help the monastery sustain itself as a non-profit spiritual practice center. A suggested minimum dana/donation of $20 is always appreciated. There is a donation box at the back of the big meditation hall.
