Mindfulness Practice in Honour of Thich Nhat Hanh

Susan Hopkinson

An inspiration to deepen our understanding of the Art of Suffering

It’s difficult to express the gratitude I feel for Thich Nhat Hanh (1926-2022) and his quietly powerful way of teaching Buddhist practices, which to me are the most helpful way to deal with our tricky minds.For the past 20 years I drew strength and understanding through near death, the death of a child, betrayal, divorce, more betrayal, financial ruin, illness, and other life challenges thanks to Thây’s presence, wisdom, and example.He was always clear that Plum Village and the practice were never about him, and he shunned the guru status that so many good teachers succumb to in their lives. Thây wanted his continuation to be our own practice, and to share that with others in whatever way we could.As a longtime student and practitioner, and as a teacher of Mindfulness since 2014, I have chosen to honour my teacher&#x27;s life by offering more mindfulness-centred teachings, the first since Spring 2020.I am happy to invite you to this talk and practice session on alleviating suffering - what Thây called &quot;the Art of Suffering&quot;.The next Mindful Living Course will begin with an Introductory Session on Sunday, February 20th, from 10:30 to 12:00 CET/3-4:30 pm IST We are all fortunate to have walked the earth at the same time as a living Buddha, and we are all better for it.No coming, no going. No after, no before. I hold you close to me. I release you to be free. Because I am in you and you are in me.I look forward to seeing you there!With much love and light,Susan(Path of Grace of the Heart)(In the photo above I&#x27;m turning towards Thây who had quietly joined our circle (he didn&#x27;t so much walk as silently glide!) as we were singing Breathing In, Breathing Out before our mindful walk at Lower Hamlet (France), July 2014. Those of you who know the Plum Village song will recognise the hand gestures!)
