Dear beloved community,
It is with great joy and deep gratitude that we offer you this special edition celebrating sixty years of the Order of Interbeing—a precious legacy of our beloved teacher, Thầy.
In a time of continuing wars, great violence, and deepening harm in families and society—and as climate change and the loss of biodiversity accelerate—we can see ever more clearly the urgent need for Thầy’s engaged practice. In these pages, we celebrate the continuation of Thầy and our ancestral teachers in the living Dharma work of the Order of Interbeing.
As we rediscover Thầy’s vision of the Order as a living organism—ever growing and renewing itself—we are deeply nourished by the intimate and inspiring sharings from monastic and lay practitioners who are bringing Thầy’s vision of Engaged Buddhism to life in every corner of society.
It is our honor to gather these flowers and fruits of practice from our OI members around the world, weaving them into a bouquet of love and gratitude to offer on this joyful occasion.
May this offering nourish our aspiration to walk together on this beautiful path.
