About us
The Dharma Cloud Monastery is a peaceful and quiet meditation garden. Azalia flowers bloom in spring, with a quiet lake and a garden full of red leaves in the fall. With the cold air of the high mountains, there are wandering clouds winding on the lake's surface, and sometimes a fish gently comes up to grab the air. The fantasy scene in the early morning makes people's hearts, no matter how disturbed they are, be quiet along with the tranquil mountains and forests.
Here, we practice Loving Kindness Meditation and Insight Meditation.
Just sitting quietly, listening to the birds chirping, receiving the morning sunlight gently shining down on the garden, the sunlight is so clear as glass through the tree branches. Walking meditation for a while will make us feel our heart is light, as light as a cloud.
Thank you for taking the time to visit our monastery. Unfortunately, we are not open to the public. However, if you would like to visit the Venerables or learn meditation, or support food, please come on the weekend and let us know before you arrive.
• It is recommended to bring a personal water bottle.
• It is recommended to bring a handkerchief as Dharma Cloud Monastery does not provide tissue paper.
• Please do not leave behind any single-use plastic waste, water bottles, straws, or wet paper towels at Dharma Cloud Monastery.
We appreciate your help in reducing the use of plastic bags, straws, and takeaway containers.
Last but not least, be silent when entering a monastery and leave your burdens outside.

NOTICE TO ALL BROTHERS, SISTERS, AND LAY PEOPLE
- The Dharma Cloud Monastery does not accept monetary offerings.
- We kindly ask the Sangha members not to request or suggest, in any form, that Buddhists offer money, food, or medicine.
- When the Sangha members need money, medicine, or food, they should inform the abbot.
- Friends coming to the Monastery need a space of freedom and tranquility; therefore, monks and nuns should allow them this freedom and avoid frequent inquiries.
- We have not yet completed our cultivation and dare not accept offerings.
- The longer we live in the temple, the higher our monastic seniority, the greater our debt becomes, and we do not know when we will be able to repay it.
- The Dharma Cloud Monastery wishes to offer friends a sense of peace.
