Donate

All donations are greatly appreciated to keep the monastery open and able to receive guests. Your one-time or recurring monthly gift provides essential income to support the ongoing operations of the monasteries, provide healthcare for the resident monastics and lay employees, provide funds for the upkeep of the beautiful 400-acre sanctuary, and allow us to offer mindfulness events and retreats.

Your donation contributes to our mission to learn, practice, and teach the art of mindful living in the Plum Village tradition in order to realize Thay’s vision for a vibrant and healing Beloved Community of happy people who live in peace and harmony with each other and the Earth.

Other Ways to Give

Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation

In gratitude for and in honor of Thich Nhat Hanh’s life, there are many ways you can contribute to his continuing legacy — practicing mindfulness, engaging in Sangha building, reconciling conflict in your relationships, and working for peace and justice in your own community.

If you feel moved to do so, you can provide financial support to Deer Park in Thay’s honor in a variety of ways through the Thich Nhat Hanh Foundation.

Volunteer

Before, during, and after some special retreats, we need additional help, so we invite mindfulness practitioners who have already attended a 7-day retreat (or longer) at Deer Park to apply for the volunteer program on an as-needed basis.

Food Donations

Alms giving (food donation) has connected the monastic and lay communities since the time of the Buddha. If you would like to make a donation of vegetarian food to the monastery, you may come to the kitchen on a Day of Mindfulness so that we can receive your gift.
