Deer Park Monastery

This channel has manifested to allow all friends of Deer Park Monastery to be with us, practice with us, and be in touch with the wonders of nature here in the great hidden mountain.

Deer Park Monastery is a mindfulness practice center and monastic training center founded by the Vietnamese Buddhist monk, author, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay). This 400-acre sanctuary rests peacefully in the chaparral mountains of Southern California, surrounded and protected by oaks and the natural landscape. It was established in July 2000 by the Plum Village manifold Sangha.
