The Serene Scenery of Vien Khong

A space for those who wish to turn inward.

Vien Khong Nunnery is located peacefully in Zone 2, Hamlet 4, Chau Pha Commune, City. Ho Chi Minh (old name: Toc Tien commune, Phu My city, Ba Ria – Vung Tau province). Amidst the fresh nature, cool and peaceful air, this is an ideal destination for those who want to find peace, connect with themselves and learn the path of mindfulness practice.

Regarding facilities, the Nunnery is built spaciously, simply but fully. The living and studying space is in harmony with nature, helping practitioners easily focus on meditation, learning the Dharma and practicing mindfulness in daily activities. All areas in the Nunnery are designed to be rustic and quiet – true to the spirit of Southern Buddhism: simple and poor.

Some outstanding spaces at the Nunnery:

Main Hall 1 is a solemn space for chanting and meditation.

Main Hall 2 is the space for organizing retreats and festivals throughout the year and is also the place where the Lecturers share the Dharma in a profound and intimate way.

Library – where nuns come together to learn the Dharma and cultivate wisdom every day.

Computer room – where nuns learn, study and connect with the treasure of Buddhist Dharma around the world.

Ambapālī Meditation Garden: A place where short meditation courses are held on Mondays for nuns or on weekends for the Buddhist community.

Vien Khong Nunnery is not a strange place, but a space for anyone who wants to pause the hustle and bustle of life to return inside and listen to their heart. Whether you are new to Buddhism, or simply looking for a place to rest your soul, the Nunnery is always open to welcome you.
