The Abode of the Message

The Abode of the Message

The Abode of the Message is a Universal Sufi community founded in 1975 by Pir Vilayat Inayat Khan and location of the Universel. His father Hazrat Inayat Khan brought a Sufi Message of unity from the east in 1910, which was intended to help “unite humanity in brotherhood and wisdom.” The Abode is the primary residential community of the Sufi Order International. The Abode's self-proclaimed mission is to honor the unity, truth and wisdom of all the world’s religious traditions.

The Abode is located on the Western slope of the Taconic Range in New Lebanon, New York, and housed in historic Shaker buildings built between 1834 and 1870. The Abode occupies convert|350|acre|km2|1 of forest that span the border between New York State and Massachusetts. The Abode is a Residential Spiritual Community, conference and retreat center, as well as a school of esoteric study. It is also home to the current spiritual leader of the Sufi Order International, Zia Inayat-Khan
