Welcome to the Plum Village Tradition
Rooted in the heart of mindfulness, our community is dedicated to cultivating inner peace, compassion, and joy in the modern world. Join us on this journey of self-discovery and interconnectedness.
At the heart of the Plum Village Tradition lies the vision of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, a renowned Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, peace activist, and prolific author. Inspired by his profound experiences, he established Plum Village in 1982 in the serene countryside of Southern France. Since then, Plum Village has grown to become one of the world's most significant mindfulness practice centers.
