A common space for harmonic peacemakers
Thich Nhat Hanh turns 94 this Sunday, October 11th!
Thich Nhat Hanh turns 94 this Sunday, October 11th!
To celebrate his continuation day, you are invited to join our global community in practicing walking meditation on Sunday.
Choose a time and a place in your local area to practice Walking In Freedom - and if you feel moved, please share a picture of your mindful walking for us to share with Thich Nhat Hanh as a continuation day gift.
Throughout times of great challenge and suffering, Thay has taken refuge in walking meditation as spiritual medicine. During the Vietnamese-American War, he and his fellow practitioners practiced walking meditation to renew their energy and cultivate compassion as they worked for peace and rebuilt villages.
This year, for Thay’s 94th continuation day, we invite you to carry on this legacy, taking the time to practice truly walking in freedom. We encourage you to recognize all the conditions of happiness that we have at our disposal, such as the seasons changing, the trees nourishing us, and the earth supporting our feet.
If you feel moved, please share:
- Picture(s) of your walking or movement meditation
- Your city and country
- A condition for happiness that you observed during your practice
Your photos will be assembled in a digital photo album as a gift for Thay.
You can submit your photos via social media using the hashtags #WalkingInFreedom and #HappyContinuationDayThay, or by emailing WalkingInFreedom@tnhf.org.
