A Little in the Past
This talk details the simplicity and mindfulness practiced at Plum Village and other temples, emphasizing gardening, composting, and sustainable living. Gardening fosters a deep connection with the Earth, cultivating vegetables like cabbage, spinach, tomatoes, pumpkins, zucchinis, and Asian varieties. Lay friends and novices work together, creating a sense of community. Thich Nhat Hanh’s teachings highlight mindfulness in daily tasks, mindful consumption, and compassionate living. Plum Village also focuses on environmental consciousness, with initiatives like drip irrigation, greenhouse cultivation, and plans for solar energy. Supporting Plum Village includes aiding hungry children, providing education, and assisting monks and nuns. The teachings stress harmony, unity, and mindful living to foster positive change and interconnectedness.
