Meditace milujici laskavosti od Buddhy

Interbiti

“When we first hear about emptiness, we feel a little frightened. But after practicing for a while, we see that things do exist, only in a different way than we’d thought. Emptiness is the Middle Way between existent and nonexistent. The beautiful flower does not become empty when it fades and dies. It is already empty, in its essence. Looking deeply, we see that the flower is made of non-flower elements — light, space, clouds, earth, and consciousness. It is empty of a separate, independent self. In the Diamond Sutra, we are taught that a human being is not independent of other species, so to protect humans, we have to protect the non-human species. If we pollute the water and air, the vegetables and minerals, we destroy ourselves. We have to learn to see ourselves in things that we thought were outside of ourselves in order to dissolve false boundaries.” ~Thich Nhat Hanh

🌏 Global Call for Personal or Archival Footage of Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear friends,

Speakit Productions — the team behind Walk With Me — is now working on Interbeing, the first authorised biographical film about Thay’s life.

We’re reaching out to the global Plum Village community to help uncover rare or unseen footage of Thay from the 1950s to 2010. We’re especially looking for material from Vietnam, the US, Europe, and other places where Thay travelled and taught.

If you, or someone you know, have old recordings — Super 8 reels, video tapes, or hidden digital files — we would love to hear from you.

📌 Please fill in a short form (https://bit.ly/TNHfootage) and tell us about your footage, or email us directly at production+footage@speakit.org.

Interbeing is being created in close collaboration with Plum Village and will be released internationally in autumn 2026, marking the centenary of Thay’s birth.

Thank you for helping us honour Thay’s life and teachings.
