Thich Nhat Hanh is a Zen Buddhist monk, a peacemaker, a poet, a story writer, and a beloved teacher. Born in Vietnam, he became a novice monk at the age of sixteen. He is affectionately called They (teacher) by his friends and students. They came to the United States during the Vietnam War in an effort to put an end to the fighting and bring peace to all countries involved. He now lives in Plum Village, a community of monks, nuns, and laypeople in the south of France. Each year They comes to the United States to give retreats and lectures on the practice of mindfulness. Old stone buildings, gardens, orchards, fields of sunflowers, and wonderful lotus ponds welcome visitors to Plum Village. People from all over the world come to practice mindful walking, eating, sitting, and breathing meditation. During summer retreats, they devotes the first part of his talks to young people. He also invites children to participate in the many enjoyable, mindful activities offered at Plum Village, including pebble meditation, music, art, drama, and games. From his deep love of children comes A Pebble for Your Pocket.
