Monk's Residence

Phone (612) 216 4854

The Buddhist Meditation Center (Monks’ Residence) in Mankato, Minnesota is the first established home of the Triple Gem of the North sangha.

The Center provides accommodation for Buddhist monks and nuns and space for meditation and dhamma study. The Center was established on January 7, 2007. Since then, it has been a space for retreats, meditation classes, sutta study, and as a hub for community activities.

The Center has allowed the Triple Gem sangha to invite guests to come and teach and has allowed for greater interaction between the monks and nuns and the lay community.

Currently located on Sumner Hill in Mankato, the Center is a quiet place of scenic beauty, with space for meditators to stay for private retreats. The Center is open to beginning and advanced meditators interested in cultivating Sila (morality), Samadhi (concentration) and Panna (wisdom).

All are welcome to our regular meditation and dhamma classes, or just to come for a visit with the monks.

The Center and its resident monks are entirely supported by donations. Your donations are deeply appreciated.
