DonateEach Sunday, new course materials will be released via our online platform. You will have the week to engage with the content at your own pace. Dharma sharing groups will meet over the weekend to discuss and reflect.
Write responses to prompts based on the week’s teachings, allowing for personal reflection and integration of the material.
Join weekly group discussions to build connections and explore the teachings in a community setting.
Through biographical studies, primary source readings, interviews, and interactive Dharma sharing, you will gain a profound understanding of Thay’s teachings and how they can inspire your own spiritual practice.
To honor the rhythms of the holidays, there will be no Dharma sharing sessions on major holiday weekends.
Whether you are new to Thầy’s teachings or returning to deepen your understanding, this course offers a rich and supportive space to learn, reflect, and practice.
-Brother Phap Luu“Do we really know who Thich Nhat Hanh is? It’s a koan, a Zen question, to ask ourselves...Everybody thinks they know: Thay is the grandfather of mindfulness, or Thay is a peace activist who spoke out about the war in Vietnam, Thay is a poet, etc. This course invites you to explore this question deeply, understanding that Thay’s life and teachings transcend any single definition.”
From time to time we offer multi-week courses related to mindfulness, the teachings and life of Thich Nhat Hanh, and a variety of similar subjects. Please see our schedule of upcoming courses.
