In this episode, the presenters, Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu and lay Buddhist practitioner and journalist Jo Confino, talk about the art of community living, and take a closer look at the Plum Village community’s four decades of existence.
The conversation touches upon key friendships - like that between Martin Luther King Jr. and Thich Nhat Hanh; ‘the beloved community’; collective energy; the spirit of togetherness; sustaining a community; deep listening; the importance of the sangha (a community of practitioners) for individuals’ practice of mindfulness. And: can two people form a community?
As abbot of Upper Hamlet and former attendant to Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, Brother Phap Huu shares inspiring inside stories from the Plum Village community, including unexpected turns of events; the impact on the community of practitioners of Thay’s withdrawal from public life; the secrets to a resilient and harmonious community; sharing opinions versus voting. What is it like to lead a community as a young abbot or abbess? And can you guess Thay’s true ‘masterpiece’?
Jo muses on the importance of vulnerability and of a conscious community; dharma sharing; and how sanghas he joined in different countries impacted his own practice.
The episode ends with a short meditation on community and friendship, guided by Brother Phap Huu.

I loved the point made about relationships being communities in their own right. I’ve never considered it before! Please do not stop these podcasts because they are making a huge difference to many people’s lives. Thank you so much for your sharing. 🙏 from the UK.

🙏Thank you for this interview, great subject. Br Pham Hutu is mature and talented beyond his age. Plum Village as a community should be a role model for small to large communities. Thay’s contribution to the world via what he has shown us through his monks and nuns and followers give us hope that amidst our turbulent world we can still have some hope. 🙏❤️🥰

Plum Village is quite rich in history. So much to offer.❤️ Intentional community is growing in the US. The loving teachings were great at a lovely community I had experience in Summertown Tennessee called The Farm. It has a rich and colorful history, with a foundation that promoted work as an expression of love and service to others as a path to a life with meaning and fulfillment. It began 1971. 🏵️

Thank you both and everyone involved for these wonderful Podcasts I can see the importance of the community And as you say Joe we are social animals But I have been able to feel part of the Plum Village Community even though I am for now at least just one person Of course not to the same extent as actually being there but I don't feel alone in my practice I'm sure I can do much better as part of the community if I was physically present I'm still very happy to follow the Podcast and all the wonderful Darma talks and I don't feel alone Brother Abbot you said that you feel part of something You surely are part of something wonderful something very very special and you are all making a beautiful profound contribution to the world

Thank you Br Phap Huu for sharing your experiences, insights with so much openess. Your insights and Thays advices could help many leaders to be better - get connected to the people around you, being a connector, trust and delegate. Jo thank you for the hint to look for the local Sanghas - discovered that there is a map on one of plum village websites.

‘Thay’s masterpiece is the community.’ Absolutely! I have practiced in other Western Buddhist traditions and never felt the level of community that I have found here. In community it’s ok if we can’t be buddha all the time, because someone will be buddha in that moment. As Thay says, the future buddha Maitreya is many buddhas. 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

A very good interview, to me, most fascinating when discussing Thay's feelings of Martin Luther King as a soulmate.
