Thich Nhat Hanh · December 15, 2004 · Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, France
Feedback

During the Autumn Retreat of 2004 at Plum Village, the community gathered on time and harmoniously conducted the legal ceremony. The preceptor nominated four representatives from four temples, and the community silently approved. During the three-month retreat, the leaders endeavored to take care of the community and received feedback for improvement. Thầy Nguyễn Hải provided positive feedback but noted the need to better care for Western brothers and manage emotions.
