Sravasti Abbey is a Buddhist monastery for people from all walks of life to learn practical ways of living in loving kindness, compassion, and wisdom, creating peace in a chaotic world.

Founded by American nun Venerable Thubten Chodron and practicing in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition of His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Sravasti Abbey is among the first of its kind as an American Buddhist monastic community.
