Enjoy this beautiful song about the Pure Land on the Plum Village website:
Here is Pure Land, the Pure Land is here.
I smile in mindfulness
And dwell in the present moment.
The Buddha is seen in an autumn leaf,
The Dharma in a floating cloud.
The Sangha body is everywhere.
My true home is right here.
Breathing in, flowers are blooming,
Breathing out, I am aware that
Bamboo is swaying, my mind is clear
And I enjoy every moment.

Honoring our Teacher-Feb. 5th in person sangha
In January, on the two-year lunar anniversary of Thich Nhat Hanh’s passing, Thay’s monastics and lay disciples from around the world will gather in Vietnam to honor our beloved teacher as he becomes an ancestor in our lineage. The community has prepared resources for you to enjoy and support your understanding of this momentous event including links to online ceremonies.
On Feb. 5th, the in-person Still Water Sangha will be devoted to a ceremony honoring Thich Nhat Hanh with an opportunity for dharma sharing, especially gratitude for his life and teachings.
