We are happy to announce that 19 novice monks and 38 novice nuns received the Revised Pratimoksha to become fully ordained bhikshus and bhikshunis at the "Trừng Quang" Great Precepts Transmission Ceremony in Thai Plum Village from 10-14 February.
In reflecting on her journey since ordaining as a Buddhist nun, Sister Tri Nghiem highlights the importance of a sense of family and belonging.
We interviewed Plum Village nuns and monks who have just received their full Bhikshuni/Bhikshu ordination in the recent transmission ceremony.
Plum Village is in the middle of celebrating Tet at this moment, in this two-part series, we explain some of the ways that we celebrate Tết or Lunar New Year in Plum Village. We see this occasion as a chance to deeply recognise our beloved one's presence.
Soon after their ordination ceremony, the Plum Village website team interviewed our new "baby" brothers and sisters of the Chestnut Ordination Family.
As we welcome the new novices of the Chestnut family into the Plum Village monastic sangha, elder brother, Brother Ngo Khong (Brother Freedom), abbot of Deer Park Monastery, recounts how he found his way to becoming a monk in the Plum Village tradition nearly ten years ago.
