Donate to the Thich Nhat Hanh School of Interbeing Your gift will do more than build a school β€” it will plant the seeds of peace for generations to come.

For me, the Thich Nhat Hanh School of Interbeing is more than a school. It’s a living expression of interconnectedness, a place where children, teachers, and families can grow together.

Building β€˜beloved community’: Remembering the friendship between Martin Luther King Jr. and Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh shared a vision of β€˜beloved community’ that shows how democracy begins not with power, but with how we live together.

Happy MLK Day friends! Here’s an article I just published about the friendship between MLK and Thich Nhat Hanh. It’s a good day to remember that how we show up for each other, and how we advocate for change, matters. There is no way to democracy, democracy is the way.

Interbeing calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh

Interbeing calligraphy by Thich Nhat Hanh

You practice like ThαΊ§y 
to walk without conflict. That way you can bridge East and West.
That was how ThαΊ§y did it. He didn’t criticize 
or judge others. 
He just walked his path.
