Magnolia Grove Monastery, Buddhist monastery in Batesville, Mississippi, United States
Magnolia Grove Monastery extends across 120 acres of land, featuring meditation halls, residential buildings, a commercial kitchen, and a lotus pond with willow trees.
Founded in 2005 by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, the monastery began with a group of individuals purchasing the property to establish a meditation center.
