Monastic Healthcare

Just like anyone else, our monastics occasionally need to see medical professionals to maintain their health. 

Donations provide accessible health care for our monastic brothers and sisters. We know when we take care of our monastic friends, we also benefit from their presence and practice.

When you donate to Deer Park, you can ask that your donation be used to help maintain the health of our monastic community. We thank you for your generosity.

Our Monastic Community

Thich Nhat Hanh has established a monastic order that is dynamic, youthful, and engaged. It is also the largest Buddhist monastic community in the West. In each of our practice centers, the monks and nuns create a peaceful, joyful, and healing environment where visitors can take refuge and immerse themselves in mindfulness practice. The monastics’ commitment to a life of simplicity, harmony, and spiritual training ensures that Thich Nhat Hanh’s living teachings will be carried far into the future.

From time to time we offer multi-week courses related to mindfulness, the teachings and life of Thich Nhat Hanh, and a variety of similar subjects. Please see our schedule of upcoming courses.
