Stop press: a UK retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh |
| Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching is based on conscious breathing and being fully aware of the present moment - the only moment in which we really live and in which joy is possible. This allows us to discover that: "There is no way to happiness - happiness is the way". |
Ordained as a Buddhist Monk in 1942, Thich Nhat Hanh worked tirelessly for peace throughout the Vietnam war and was nominated by Martin Luther King for the Nobel Peace Prize. In exile in France, he has established Plum Village, a retreat centre where Western and Vietnamese people live together in harmony and offer a place of spiritual transformation to thousands of visitors each year. Thich Nhat Hanh has explained his practice in many books including: "The Miracle of Mindfulness", "Touching Peace", "Living Buddha, Living Christ", and "Peace is Every Step". |  |
