A Blessing to view and the prayer goes out from my heart that this energy is carried out into the larger world and that many may be inspired to create more Plum villages.
In 2005 and 2007 Thich Nhat Hanh returned to Vietnam to help the communist regime to improve its bad image for religious oppression. In exchange, the communists promised to allow him to practice religion in Vietnam and establish Bat Nha monastery. But in September 2009, Vietnamese authorities launched a violent crackdown on his followers at the monastery, fearing his popularity among the youth could pose a threat to the communist leadership.
About 380 young monks and nuns who are followers of Buddhist leader Thich Nhat Hanh, have called on the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, to grant them temporary asylum, after they were forced to flee Bat Nha monastery and repeatedly attacked by vigilantes allegedly hired by the Vietnamese authorities. They say the government regards their leader as a threat to its authority due to his fast-growing popularity among the youth.
Many thanks for your comments. I just use the "sepia" setting on my camera (canon digital elph). I'm pretty sure most digital cameras have a sepia setting nowadays.
Glad to hear you're thinking of visiting Plum Village. It's a special place.
