About Heart of the Blue Ridge Sangha*
“Peace is all around us–in the world and nature–and within us–in our bodies and our spirits. Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed. It is not a matter of faith; it is a matter of practice.” -Thich Nhat Hanh

“People say, ‘Thay does not teach much; he only teaches breathing in and breathing out’…which is true.” —Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) speaking at Plum Village, 2006
*Sangha: the Community that endeavors to practice the true teachings in harmony
Please Note: The monks and nuns evicted from Bat Nha, a monastery in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh in Vietnam, are taking refuge at another temple. Updates on their status and additional background information on related events, including letters from Thay (Oct. 9 and 17), are available on the “Help Bat Nha Monastery” site (latest updates: Nov. 5).
