About Blue Cliff
Blue Cliff Monastery set in the lush green Hudson Valley of New York was
established in May 2007 and is an extension of
Plum Village
meditation center in
France, founded by the Venerable
teacher Thich Nhat Hanh. Like our root monastery Plum village and sister
monastery
Deer Park (in
Escondido
California), Blue Cliff welcomes anyone who
wishes to learn and cultivate the art and practices of engaged Buddhism
through mindful living.
Blue Cliff’s 80 acres of woodland and open space, offers a peaceful
sanctuary for our guests.
Its proximity to NYC and its setting in the beautiful mountains of NY
State makes it an ideal location for the cultivation of the path of
peace, reconciliation, and happiness.
The monastic community of monks and nuns welcomes you to join us
in our daily life of mindful practice.
