My 2011 New Year retreat at Plum Village Monastery, France
with the extraordinary teacher of peace, Thich Nhat Hanh,
birthed the touchstone seals of Thich Nhat Hanh’s
calligraphy of being peace.• • •
After 6 months of design and communications we are extremely happy and honored to finally introduce these pieces to you. We hope that Thay’s (Thay - teacher) words influence you as much as he has us. • • •
There are three different sterling silver seals to choose from on an adjustable plum colored rope, to symbolize and celebrate Plum Village. The messages are: - Be still and know -No mud, no lotus -Peace in oneself, peace in the world • • •
The Barber's Daughters will donate 20% of the sales to the humanitarian efforts of Plum Village. • • •
Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk, a poet, scholar, and peace activist. He has lived a long fulfilling life dedicated to generating peace and reconciliation. His beliefs have touched the hearts of many, including Martin Luther King who nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. TNH founded the Van Hanh Buddhist University in Saigon as well as the School of Youths of Social Services in Vietnam. • • •
When Thay is not traveling the world to share the wisdom woven within his many books, he teaches, writes, and gardens in Plum Village. • • •
