Dear Friends,

Our much loved and respected teacher, Thich Nhat Hanh, has passed away. Thầy was 95 years old. He transitioned peacefully at his Root Temple Từ Hiếu near Huế, Central Vietnam where he lived for the past three years.

At this week's Monday evening sangha we will honor the life of Thay by coming together as a community. At this difficult time for the global Plum Village community we can all find comfort, strength and wisdom in the sangha, and in the teachings he made available to us all. Turning back to our breath and our slow and reflective walking, we can find peace and space to think about his work of peace, inclusiveness, understanding, compassion and happiness.

Over the coming days there are a number of events taking place across the worldwide community. This began last night with a ceremony live streamed from Deer Park and continues with events throughout the weekend. Click here for details of these events.

We look forward to this opportunity to come together online. We can be together, practice together, listen to each other, and share with one another.

With love and much care,

Opening Heart Mindfulness Community
