2010 US Tour Poster - Cultivating a Culture of Awakening
We organize a US Tour, so that we can come together to dwell happily in the present moment as a community of practice - Sangha. The retreat will be lead and guided by monks and nuns, in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh.

The practice of mindfulness enable us to come back to this moment to live our lives fully.
Our thoughts, words and actions bring about a culture of awakening. A  beautiful and peaceful world can manifest.

Our teacher Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) shared these words with us when he was not able to attend the retreat "One Buddha is Not Enough" in Colorado last year:

"Dear friends, if you look deeply enough, you will see me in the Retreat, walking with you, sitting with you, breathing with you.  I feel clearly that I am in you and you are in me.  In this Retreat, you will witness the talent of the Sangha: You will see that Thay is already well continued by the Sangha, and the Presence of the Sangha carries Thay's presence."

"We have to acknowledge the fact that the Sangha has embodied the continuation of Thay in a beautiful way, and there is no reason for anyone of us to worry about the future of our practice."

May our mindful breathing and conscious steps bring us together in joy and peace.
