2025 | MINDFULNESS RETREATS AND ACTIVITIES

Dear friends

The year 2025 is apparently manifesting right within each moment of the present year 2024. In Việt Nam, our grandparents have the saying “The year is over and Tết is coming”. Tết is the Vietnamese traditional word for New Year. The saying describes the start of something at a point where something else ends. In the flow of time, a series of events is continued by another. In the tradition of Plum Village, Tết is a brief moment and also an eternity, representing a feeling of pure delight that can be generated every second. Springtime is the season of Tết, while rainy and leave-falling seasons can also be Tết.

Having had the path of mindfulness practice, we see that it is possible to bring Tết back for ourselves, our family, and our office at any time. The practice of mindfulness of the footstep and mindfulness of the breath allow us to arrive in the welcome of the here and the now.

You are invited to save the plan of dates for Retreats, Days of Mindfulness, and special events in the year 2025. Monastic brothers and sisters in Thai Plum Village Monastery would like to express our gratitude for your companionship near and far in every step, breath, and smile. Thank you for bringing Sư Ông Làng Mai, our Teacher Thầy, into the future.
