Bi-monthly Theme: Thich Nhat Hanh: At Home in the World Thought provoking and inspiring, “At Home in the World” is a collection of autobiographical stories from the life of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. They range from tales of his childhood and the traditions of rural Vietnam, to his years as a teenage novice, young teacher and writer in war torn Vietnam. In this book, we also see him travelling widely to teach mindfulness, founding practice centers and monasteries around the globe, and influencing world leaders. In the coming four Friday Nights, we will be practicing together and reading Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh’s book ‘At Home in the World’. Please join us in this practice.
