Man and Monk at Deer Park Monastery. (Tomasito photo 2009)Deer Park Monastery
Today we drove over to Deer Park Monastery--which is located in a mountain valley just outside of Escondido, California.
A branch of Thich Nhat Hanh's Plum Village in France, Deer Park Monastery is quiet, peaceful and beautiful--just as you would wish it to be.
Mindfulness is the watchword of the order--even the speed bump which slows visitor's cars at the entrance is labeled "Mindful Speed Bump".
It is a very good place to be.
