  • US Tour 2017 Info Sheet.R1
    Awakening Together: Healing the Ancestral Heart - on tour with the monastic community of Thich Nhat Hanh 6-Day Mindfulness Retreat at Deer Park Monastery on September 12-17, 2017 Awakening the Source of Understanding A Sangha of 80 monks and nuns from Plum Village, Blue Cliff, Magnolia Grove, and Deer Park Monasteries will come together to host this retreat and other events during this US Tour without the physical presence of our beloved teacher, Thay. In 2009, we were faced with facilitating a retreat for 1,000 people in Colorado, when Thay was in the hospital. This is an excerpt from the book, One Buddha is Not Enough, a story of collective awakening, which came out of that retreat: One day in Plum Village, Thay was sitting and giving a Dharma talk when it started to rain. Thay stopped the Dharma talk and said, “Everyone just listen to the rain; that’s the real Dharma talk.” We sat there in silence and listened to the rain—not only with our ears, but with our eyes, with our whole body; just sitting there present for the rain. Meditation practice is exactly that. It’s learning to listen to what life is presenting to us in every moment. Meditation and mindfulness practice teach us to be open, not only with our ears, but with our eyes, with our whole body, and with our heart. Please join the monks, nuns, and lay practitioners in the mountains of Deer Park Monastery to manifest an awakening together as a spiritual family, a Sangha. We come back to the present moment through our awareness of our body and our mind.

Text for Requesting Purification of a Sangha Restoration Offense Release and Expression of Regret Offense: Methods for Practicing Expressing ... Conclusion: Step by Step Copyright Page Preface THE PRATIMOKSHA is the basic book of training for Buddhist monastics. Training with the Pratimoksha, monastics purify their bodies and minds, cultivate love for all beings, and advance on the path of liberation. “Prati” means step-by-step. It can also be translated as “going in a direction.” “Moksha” means liberation. So “Pratimoksha” can be translated as freedom at every step. Each precept brings freedom to a specific area of our daily life. If we keep the precept of not drinking alcohol, for example, we have the freedom of not being drunk. If we keep the precept of not stealing, we have the freedom of not being in prison. The word “Pratimoksha” can also mean “in every place there is liberation.” We have titled this revised version of the Pratimoksha Freedom Wherever We Go to remind us that we are going in the direction of liberation. As a part of their training at Plum Village, fully ordained monks and nuns must spend at least five years studying the Vinaya, a vast and rich body of literature, that defines and organizes the life of the monastic community.

  • A New Model of the Bodhisattva Ideal in Thich Nhat Hanh's Socially
    A New Model of the Bodhisattva Ideal in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Socially Engaged Buddhism Venerable Nguyen Van Nam Phra Rajapariyatkavi, Prof. Dr. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sudarat Bantaokul Dr. Soontaraporn Techapalokul International Buddhist Studies College Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University Corresponding Author Email: tk.tamchanh@gmail.com Abstract This research article attempts to find out a new model of bodhisattva ideal in Thich Nhat Hanh’s Socially Engaged Buddhism (SEB). The methodology of this paper is qualitative consisting of documentary and in-depth interview methods of four key informants who are the closest disciples of Thich Nhat Hanh. The data analysis involves both content and interview analyses. The findings show that the bodhisattva ideal in Mahāyāna scriptures is aimed to dissect the bodhisattva concept and the practices of two typical bodhisattvas – Mañjuśrī and Avalokiteśvara. Thich Nhat Hanh has revived the notion of typical bodhisattva through the spirit of Socially Engaged Buddhism which is manifesting in four fields: education, social services, peacemaking, and the building of Plum Villages. The new model of bodhisattva ideal in his SEB is called the SMS model – that is Śila – the mindfulness training, Maitri – loving-kindness and Smṛti (or Sati) – mindfulness meditation. This SMS model helps the Buddha’s teachings and the Buddhist practices lead all human beings to happiness of this world and future lives. Key words: Bodhisattva ideal, Thich Nhat Hanh, Socially Engaged Buddhism. 27 1. Introduction All religions always contain a sustainable improvement to adapt to new circumstances. About three hundred years after the Buddha’s Mahāparinirvāna, the bodhisattva concept has strongly developed in order to deal with complicated social problems.
