The first monastery in the United States to be established by followers of Ajahn Chah, Abhayagiri was founded in 1996 in the mountainous forests of Mendocino County, California. The origins of the monastery can be traced to Northern California visits in the early 1980s by Ajahn Sumedho, Ajahn Chah's senior western disciple. In 1995, Venerable Master Hsüan Hua, the founding abbot of The City of Ten Thousand Buddhas (CTTB) in Ukiah, offered 120 acres of CTTB-owned forested property in Redwood Valley. The first residents of Abhayagiri arrived June 1, 1996.
On April 28-29, 2001, over 200 people gathered in Portola Valley to honor the life and teachings of Ajahn Chah.
This is the 2006 documentary by Tony Anthony about the monks at the Abhayagiri Buddhist Monastery.
Many people gathered at Abhayagiri on June 4th, 2016 to meet old friends, celebrate and share reflections.
