ShareUnderstanding and Love – Hieu & Thuong
In the early 1960`s the idea for a school for social-service for young people was founded in Saigon by our beloved teacher Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh and some of his friends. The school does not exist anymore, but there is still an ambicious program running for supporting poor people and hungry children in forgotten regions of Vietnam: “Hieu & Thuong”. The international Sangha gives a lot of money to support Plum Village in this important task. Thay never wrote a book about this work and so many people do not know details of this program. This program is a sign for “engaged” and “applied” Budhism. Now in Germany a Web-Site from Maitreya-Fonds, that supports “Hieu & Thuong”, is established. Here you can find a lot of detail information about this program in german, english and partly also in vietnamese language.
