Phuoc Son Zen Monastery – A place for peaceful souls to return to
Phuoc Son Zen Monastery is a center for practicing Vipassana meditation and studying the Tripitaka. With great aspirations, the Elder and the monks at Phuoc Son Zen Monastery have not been afraid of hardships, maintain a pure dojo every day, a place of refuge for hundreds of practitioners to return to study the Dharma, nurturing a life of mindfulness and simplicity.
Although not showing off or expecting anything in return, it is this humility and the tireless vow to serve that makes many people admire and willing to help. That is why the activities at the Zen monastery have been maintained by the hearts of those with affinity, the benefactors who silently send their support - from rice, salt, blankets... to good prayers.
Santa believes that: Every journey of practice will be more complete when the practitioner does not have to worry about food, sleep, and daily necessities.

In the teachings of Buddhism Compassion and generosity (Dāna) – Giving is not only helping others, but also a means to transform yourself. Therefore, each gift you give is not only material support, but also a heart, a good deed connecting the good will with the Triple Gem. Doing good deeds not only accumulates merit, but is also a way to transform suffering – for yourself, and for society. In the modern materialistic world, returning to compassion, selflessness and sharing is the most precious thing we can give.
If you're looking for a good deed to start – now is the time.
