We welcome you to come visit Deer Park to say good bye to last year, year of the goat and we begin a new year, year of the monkey.
The couplet for this monkey year:
NUÔI DƯỠNG TÌNH HUYNH ĐỆ – BẢO HỘ HÀNH TINH XANH
NOURISHING OUR TOGETHERNESS – PROTECTING OUR PLANET
You can print these couplets using the individual files from:

Dear Norma. Deer Park is generally open on Sunday and Thursday for days of mindfulness from 8:30am to 4:00pm. Because of the lunar new year, Deer Park’s schedule is a little different; you can click the links above next to each date to learn more about this celebration.
Please see this calendar for the other days you can come visit Deer Park: http://deerparkmonastery.org/events/.
whenever I visit Loc Uyen, I shopped for books, clothes , and other souvenirs. I live far from Loc Uyen and wonder if i can buy gift on line. Thanks.
Dear Lan. Deer Park does not have an online store. You can find many dharma books from Parallax Press: http://www.parallax.org/. Also t-shirts are offered by http://bloominglotusdesigns.org/. For other items, please come visit Deer Park bookshop on a Day of Mindfulness or during a retreat. Please see the calendar here: http://deerparkmonastery.org/events/
