About Us
Plum Village Malaysia
Plum Village Malaysia is a lay community inspired by the teachings of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay). We practice mindfulness as a way of life — cultivating peace, compassion, and understanding in ourselves and our communities.
Rooted in the tradition of the global Plum Village monastery founded by Thay in France, we bring these ancient practices into contemporary Malaysian life through retreats, days of mindfulness, and community gatherings.
Our practice is open to people of all backgrounds and faiths. We walk together on the path of awareness, belonging, and love.
