| Since Thays transition, our young monastic community has had to grow into our role with a lot of responsibility and expectations. We are on a continual learning journey of putting into practice Thays teaching for us to be an organismnot an institution and to make decisions by consensus. He didnt want us to become an organized religion but a body of practitioners learning from a diversity of evolving perspectives and views both from the lay and monastic community. Thay always resisted being forced into taking a position on complex issues and insisted that as a Plum Village community we do not have a party line. Thay has taught us that true peace is not the absence of conflict but the presence of justice, understanding, and love. Everything Thay guided us to engage in on our monastic path is in the service of concretely transforming the roots of violence and war and cultivating love and peace.
– Sister Chan Khong, Thay Phap An and the International Community of Plum Village Monastics |
