Happy Easter, friends. Today seems like the right day to share about Thich Nhat Hanh's community.
Thich Nhat Hanh
In May 2014 a child asked Thich Nhat Hanh, "What is God?"
Thich Nhat Hanh replied, "Certainly God is not an idea or a notion. God is very real, and you can get in touch with God if you are mindful, concentrated and insightful."
It is a beautiful teaching. Watch it on the Plum Village YouTube channel.
Plum Village, near Bordeaux in southwest France, is Europe's largest Buddhist monastery and a retreat center in Thich Nhat Hanh's tradition. Plum Village France is a continuation of the "Sweet Potato Community" Thich Nhat Hanh founded outside of Paris in the 1970's after he was exiled from Vietnam.
Thich Nhat Hanh is at Tu Hieu Temple in Hue, Vietnam, where he became a monk at age sixteen. His community is offering a regular livestreaming program using the Plum Village YouTube channel.
The livestream program calendar is on the Plum Village website. You can plan ahead by looking at the calendar or you can subscribe to the Plum Village YouTube channel, request notifications, and participate when you can. There are programs offered almost daily.
In addition to the livestreams you can watch short video teachings on the Plum Village App YouTube channel. I found this powerful teaching on how to help overwhelmed doctors, filmed at Stanford University in 2013.
There is also a free Plum Village Mobile App.
There are more than one hundred Thich Nhat Hanh books to read, perhaps available to borrow in e-book form from your public library. I like The Art of Living, published in 2017.
Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is a global spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist, renowned for his powerful teachings and bestselling writings on mindfulness and peace. A gentle, humble monk, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. called him “an Apostle of peace and nonviolence” when nominating him for the Nobel Peace Prize. Exiled from his native Vietnam for almost four decades, Thich Nhat Hanh has been a pioneer bringing Buddhism and mindfulness to the West, and establishing an engaged Buddhist community for the 21st Century.
