Donate to the Thich Nhat Hanh School of Interbeing Your gift will do more than build a school — 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.

rehena Harilall reflects on mindfulness, solidarity, and practice from her journey across the West Bank.

Building ‘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 ‘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.

With the recent launch of our new 'Access to Practice' folder, we sat down with Sibling Yonten to explore how the idea took shape a&how it grew from our shared commitment to making the app more accessible and inclusive.

You practice like Thầy to walk without conflict. That way you can bridge East and West. That was how Thầy did it. He didn’t criticize or judge others. He just walked his path. Read the interview with Brother Pháp Lưu by Sister Tại Nghiêm at mindfulnessbell.org
