This incredible nurturing app offers the clear beautiful teachings of Thay & his continuation of the teachings through his monastics. But don’t let any of these words - Buddhist, Monastic, Meditation- stir any feelings of being an outsider to these practices! You don’t have to be a Buddhist nor do you need to believe anything. These practices are literally for everyone! You can stop during the day & listen to a short practice & maybe that’s it. Well, cool, that’s it. What matters? Do you feel better? Did stopping for a moment, coming home to your breath allow your mind, heart & body to rest? Maybe you just feel a little lighter! These offerings only have the intent to help elevate suffering in our lives. Even if it’s just for a moment or two. Practicing in the gaps & transitions from one thing to another can have an amazing effect! May you all give your self the greatest gift - time. Time for yourself. Time to come home to your body, your breathing… and remember we are alive! That is a source of happiness!

This app is something I’ve been seeking for years but never knew existed. Grounded in Plum Village tradition Buddhism, this app gives you a easy to understand and practical way to bring mindfulness practice into you daily life. The resources offered are incredible! Books worth of information, guided meditation, video teachings.... and it’s all free. The most beautiful part is there’s nothing in this app that tries to sell you “mindfulness”. It’s not a promotion trying to get you to spend money on Thich’s books, or online courses or expensive app upgrades. No, all the information is just there! I feel that the app developers and Plum Village care so deeply about sharing the dharma that they’ve made it truly accessible to everyone. This app could nourish you for a lifetime. Subsequently it’s encouraged profound spiritual growth in such a short time, and has directed me to books by Thich I never would have found otherwise!

Firstly, to everyone who contributed to this app: thank you so much for putting time and loving energy into creating such a beautiful practice-nourishing resource.
I have enjoyed using the app multiple times a day for: silent sitting meditations, shorter meditations and throughout the rest of the day, listening to any time I have a free moment to be in touch with the practice of mindfulness. I have really enjoyed the short meditations that invite us to shine light on different parts: the body, thoughts / mind. The deep relaxations which I have been doing daily are a true gift. I have used these multiple times a day to stop and relax completely and catch up on much needed rest. I have found this so helpful.
It is really wonderful to have the brothers and sisters' varied contributions to the app. It is great to have the root mindfulness practices presented with invitations to shine light on different aspects of our practice.

All of the parts of the app are so useful and nourishing. I have benefitted much already from having everything on the app available every where at any time. The app is a calming anchor offering many kind opportunities and invitations to come back home to ourselves wherever we may be or whatever we are doing.
It is as though I am carrying a precious part of Plum Village with me to remind me of and enrich my practice anytime. It has been a joy sharing the app with family and sangha.
