Blue Cliff was formerly a family-owned summer resort, in operation since 1939. Today, the various residences have been renovated and winterized, with wheelchair-accessible rooms. The Great Togetherness Meditation Hall, built in 2008, can accommodate up to 800 people for meditation and teachings.

Over the past decade, Blue Cliff has hosted more than 460 Days of Mindfulness and over 100 retreats with a range of themes tailored to families, creative artists, Vietnamese speakers, educators, health care professionals, veterans, young adults, and people of color.

Thanks to the generous support of individuals in our community, Blue Cliff Monastery has touched many lives and will continue to water seeds of love, joy, and compassion that can transform our society.

Blue Cliff Monastery's Capital Campaign

As we plan for the long-term sustainability and increased capacity of our practice center, we humbly ask for your support to finance Blue Cliff’s continuation.

With your generosity, Blue Cliff will continue to be a place of refuge for thousands of people, and a beautiful home for our monastic brothers and sisters for generations to come.

If you wish, please include in the notes of your donation that the money is to go to Blue Cliff. You may also indicate if you wish it to go to the General Scholarship Fund, BIPOC Scholarship Fund, Monastic Healthcare Fund, New Nunnery or General Fund for monastery maintenance and upkeep. Thank you for your generosity.
