We will start the celebration with a delicious international Vegetarian Food Tasting provided by Sublime and other local restaurants, followed by Peace Is Every Step, our evening's Main Feature. Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue will provide a Dharma Talk describing his experience living and working with Th?y Thich Nhẩt Hạnh in Plum Village, France. We will end the celebration with a Bonus Screening of Each of My Steps is a Prayer, a Documentary film about Zen Master Thich Nhẩt Hạnh's 2007 return to Vietnam.
This event is open to all Sangha Meetup members, film and food lovers, so bring your friends!
Main Feature: Peace Is Every Step is a documentary film narrated by Ben Kingsley about the life and work of leading Vietnamese Zen Master, poet, and author Thich Nhẩt Hạnh. Throughout his career, Nhẩt Hạnh has had a profound impact on contemporary thinking and, importantly, social action. His efforts to achieve an early peaceful end to the American war in Vietnam earned him a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and a forty-year exile from his homeland. He is the author of many books including the bestsellers Being Peace, Living Buddha/Living Christ, The Miracle of Mindfulness and Peace Is Every Step.
Peace Is Every Step is an intimate and direct portrait of a monk who has lived through war and fought back with meditation, love and grace under fire, testimony to the faith that simple practices and insights drawn from (but not by any means limited to) the Buddhist meditative tradition can help change conditions for the better: on a personal level, in the family, in the community, in a nation, and in the world.
Special Guest Speaker/Dharma Lecture: After the main feature, Venerable Brother Thich Huong Hue will provide a Dharma Talk about his experience living and working with Th?y Thich Nhẩt Hạnh in Plum Village, France. Brother Huong Hue was ordained as a Buddhist monk by Th?y in Plum Village, in 1989. He currently serves as the Abbott of Tu Viện Hương Hải, a Vietnamese Buddhist Monastery in Florida.
Bonus Feature: Each of My Steps is a Prayer. Following the Dharma Talk, the audience is invited to the South Florida Premiere of Each of My Steps is a Prayer, a Documentary film about Zen Master Thich Nhẩt Hạnh's 2007 return to Vietnam (Thich Nhẩt Hạnh was exiled from his homeland until 2005).
