This week, 75 monks and nuns from Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastic order will launch a cross-country “Miracle of Mindfulness” tour.
“While our teacher recovers from his stroke in San Francisco, 75 of us are touring the US to bring mindfulness teachings through retreats, book launches, outdoor meditations, a concert, and more,” Sister Ocean of Blue Cliff Monastery told Lion’s Roar.
The tour, which marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of Thich Nhat Hanh’s first book, The Miracle of Mindfulness, aims to foster community and spread the practice of mindfulness.
