Plum Village Schools and Educators Retreat special edition, April 2013

By Raymond Lam
April 10, 2013

From high school teachers to preceptors and university lecturers, seminary rectors to professors, tutors, or pastors, facilitating learning in a spiritually nourishing way has been a long-time concern of educators. With a philosophy that meets every challenge imaginable, Thich Nhat Hanh’s applied ethics have changed the lives of mentors and students alike.

From April 4th to the 8th I had the privilege of being invited by Plum Village HK to join April’s Schools and Educators Retreat at Mahachulalongkorn University (MCU). It is my pleasure to present the fruit of this visit to Thailand: a special edition dedicated to all teachers, Thay, and his sangha called the Order of Interbeing.

The magnificent meditation hall at the University.

The ballroom of the meditation hall was the venue for most of our events (apart from the dining!)
