Blue Cliff Monastery, Buddhist temple in Pine Bush, New York, United States.
The monastery spans across 80 acres of woodland with two ponds and a creek, located in the southern Catskill region of New York State.
The monastery was established in May 2007 after the relocation of monastic communities from Maple Forest Monastery and Green Mountain Dharma Center in Vermont.
The monastery follows the Thien Buddhist tradition under the guidance of the Order of Interbeing, offering meditation practices aligned with Plum Village methods.
The Great Togetherness Meditation Hall accommodates 800 people for meditation sessions, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the renovated facilities.
The property maintains 65 acres of forest where visitors participate in outdoor walking meditations alongside the resident monks and nuns.
