The Plum Village is a Buddhist Monastery and Retreat in the Dordogne region of France. It is the home monastery of Master Thich Nhat Hanh, a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist Monk. The following is paraphrased from the Plum Village Webpage:
“Plum Village, a monastery for monks and nuns and a Buddhist practice center for lay people, was founded in 1982 by the Vietnamese Zen-Master Thích Nhất Hạnh (Thầy). Every year, Plum Village welcomes thousands of friends from all around the world. Due to its rapid expansion in recent years, the community is now comprised of four hamlets: Upper Hamlet, Son Ha Temple, Lower Hamlet, and New Hamlet. Plum Village also has practice centers located in The United States (Deerpark, Bluecliff, Magnolia), Maison de l’inspir Paris, EIAB Germany, Plum Village Thailand, Plum Village Hong Kong, and Entering Stream Australia.”
