This is a very special place...my true home. I have nothing but heattfelt gratitude and love for my sangha brothers and sisters, who have taught me that happiness is here and now and that evrything--even our pain and sorrow--is impermanent.

I have so much gratitude and appreciation for Blue Cliff. I visited for the weekend with my college and it was truly a wonderfully experience. my eyes have truly been open on living more mindfully and spreading the practice. I look forward visiting the monastery again and would encourage others to visit at least once to experience something powerful within urself.

It is a beautiful place where I could rest and connect with myself, the wonderful nature and to the people who shared with me the family retreat. Thank you so much

Someone from the monastery delivered spring rolls to my house as a Holiday treat on Saturday. They were delicious! Thank you so much. Your kindness is greatly appreciated!

Lots of love and kindness here. Beautiful walks, talks, learning to live in the moment, and delicious lunches at Blue Cliff. Thank you!

A great place to refresh yourself and learn how to live each moment in a deep way. The monks and nuns here radiate a great warmth and deep sense of aliveness. Highly recommended!

I still carry the mindfulness shown me at the retreats I attended two years ago, and still observe the trainings. They are very much part of my life every day. I hope to be able to return again soon for renewal. Thank you for everything you do to share this wonderful way of living one's life.

My true home! A welcoming, warm, spiritual community set in the beautiful catskill mountains. Always come back feeling refreshed, supported, and with a deeper sense of self an purpose.
