Plum Village

In Plum Village, our practice carries a lot of Zen aspects, especially our focus on generating mindfulness in all aspects of daily life, and our reliance on the three trainings of mindfulness (smrti), concentration (samadhi) and insight (prajna) as the path to liberation.
The Pure Land is available to us 24 hours a day. The question is: Are we are available to the Pure Land? It is not a separate reality from suffering. We believe that “pain is inevitable, but suffering is optional.”
