The 90-day Rains Retreat 2024-2025 has concluded, marking a period of deep study, practice, and transformation for our monastic and lay community.
The Rains Retreat is an annual retreat whose origins date back to the time of the Buddha. It is a time for Buddhist monastics to deepen their studies, practice, healing, and transformation.
At Plum Village Monastery, we had the opportunity to practice as a multifold Sangha (monastic and lay siblings), supporting each other to explore what it means to be a true Soulmate of the Buddha.
The Rains Retreat Closing Ceremony celebrates this enriching community of monastic and lay practitioners.
