High on a hill alongside U.S. 285, blanketed in shade, is the Compassionate Dharma Cloud Monastery.
It’s a peaceful place, the perfect blend of Vietnamese architecture, Buddhist culture and Coloradan beauty. The birds chirp freely; the air is crisp; the trees are plentiful. This is exactly why Abbot Tinh Man chose the space.
Though it may be serene and sacred, the monastery is currently undergoing quite a bit of change. Now, the sound of bulldozers drifts through the air while walking the meditation path. It will all be worth it, though, when the Morrison monastery is home to a brand new meditation hall.
The meditation hall, which could be complete as soon as July 2019, is a long time coming. It’s been a goal of Abbot Tinh Man’s for at least five years, and it was inspired by his Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.
