Thich Nhat Hanh, passed away peacefully at the age of 95 on January 22, he was a spiritual revolutionary who brought Buddhism out of Vietnam and introduced it to the wider world. He is the author of more than 100 books, and wrote extensively about the principles and everyday applications of engaged Buddhism.
In the wake of his death, we are reminded of his teachings on mindfulness – a nonjudgemental awareness of all that is happening inside and around us. If we can reconnect with our bodies, we connect with the Earth. We also open ourselves to the joy that is possible in even the most mundane of moments: In order to work towards a more sustainable future, Thay as he is called, which means teacher in Vietnamese, encourages us to reconnect with our Mother Earth.
The Arctic or the rainforests can feel rather abstract, and therefore separate. But at a molecular level, we are the Earth. – and it’s possible to realize this more deeply: over the course of this special season in reverence to Thich Nhat Hanh, a stunning array of voices from across the globe will be reading from Thay’s book “Love Letter to the Earth” coupled with essays, interviews, music and art. It is in invitation to walk, learn and live the deeper conversation with our Mother Earth.
Thich Nhat Hanh " Love Letter to the Earth " is graciously permitted by Parallax Press.
