Sister Chân Giác Nghiêm

Sister Chân Giác Nghiêm (True Adornment with Awakening) is a dearly beloved elder sister in the Plum Village community. She first met Thầy in 1985, and his teachings soon became a guiding light in her life. In 1999, at the age of fifty-six—after years of marriage and a career as a physiotherapist—she chose to follow the monastic path. Thầy later entrusted her with the role of abbess of Maison de l’Inspir, a Plum Village practice center nestled in the peaceful countryside near Paris, in Villeneuve-sur-Bellot.
