“Our society has hurt you enough. You seek to come to the Plum Village tradition to find peace, love and refuge.”
During last month’s Wake Up Earth Retreat, Sister Boi Nghiem gave a Dharma talk in powerful support of the LGBTQIA+ community.
“I want to help, understand, heal and to be open to learn. Because I know that you have been through so much pain and suffering. … If not now, then when?”
Notes: The talk starts around minute 20, and the main part on gender inclusivity in Plum Village starts around minute 41.
