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.
Continuing wars and genocide, domestic and sexual abuse of women and children, and the twin emergencies of climate change and the destruction of biodiversity, all underscore the urgent need for Thầy’s work of engaged practice. In these pages we celebrate the continuation body of Thầy and the ancestral teachers in the evolving 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 continue to bring his 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.
