Buddhist Insights. - Empty Clouds

Our mission is to make monastic teachings more accessible to the general public. Since our inception in 2016, we have invited Bhikkhus and Bhikkhunis from various Buddhist traditions to offer the gift of the Dhamma in urban centers. In 2019 we started Empty Cloud Monastery, a gender inclusive monastery, where everyone can practice and study the Buddha’s traditional teachings.

The Dhamma is priceless, so there are no fees to participate in any of our classes, retreats and residency programs at Empty Cloud Monastery. Complying with ancient Buddhist tradition, we operate entirely through the principle of generosity (dāna). This allows the teachings to be accessible to everyone, and gives participants the opportunity to practice generosity by giving out of a sense of gratitude and compassion.
