The Great Togetherness Hall
The name of this meditation hall at Blue Cliff Monastery in Pine Bush, NY is apropos of this time of year. The Great Togetherness Hall was built in 2008 for the founding of the monastery.
The hall can hold up to 800 people for meditation and teaching sessions. We were lucky enough to visit on a sunny day to see the light pour in though the clerestory windows framed by smaller Tudor Arches on top of the modified main arches.
