In this episode, Brother @phaphuu and @joconfino are joined by @sistertruededication to explore the significance and offerings of the Plum Village community – a sanctuary of peace, healing, and mindfulness, in stark contrast to the fast-paced, consumer-driven world outside.

The three speakers further discuss the importance of a physical environment for spiritual practice, where individuals can reconnect with their true selves; the value of community living, where monastics share a collective career and work towards the flourishing of the community rather than individual success; the relevance of the five mindfulness trainings, which serve as ethical guidelines for personal and societal transformation; and much more.

The conversation also touches upon the need for support to maintain and expand the Plum Village facilities, the importance of generosity, and the impact of supporting engaged monastic communities. 🙏

This is our third live recording of the podcast made in London, England, in July, 2026, before a sold-out audience. Brother @phaphuu and @joconfino are joined on stage by @sistertruededication to explore the idea that the answers to life's issues are often found within ourselves, rather than externally, and that we are already the person we want to become.

The discussion includes reflections on the challenges of recognizing one's own worth and the societal pressures that contribute to feelings of inadequacy; how mindfulness, presence, and community are essential in cultivating self-acceptance and personal transformation; the role of kindness in daily life; the power of the present moment in fostering personal and collective change; practicing self-compassion; and much more.

The conversation concludes with questions from the audience answered by the three speakers. 🙏
