Buddhist teachings tell us the place to start is by slowing down. “Bring your mind to noble silence” said the Buddha. “Unify your mind in noble silence. Concentrate your mind in noble silence.” The Buddha points not simply to physical silence but to what that silence produces: a deep inner stillness from which clarity can emerge.

Peace House is, first and foremost, a monastic residence. Within its walls, ordained Theravadan Buddhist monks study and practice, preserving the Buddha’s teachings, offering spiritual guidance, and radiating mettā (loving-kindness) to sentient beings everywhere.

At Peace House, we offer a particular form of nourishment. Call it “Vitamin Q”. For Quiet. Our humble mission is to provide space and time to quiet the mind for awhile – pausing long enough to hear the inner voice of wisdom that is too often drowned out by all the noise and activity of our daily lives.
