A Cloud Never Dies

In response to the war and growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, our international Plum Village community is releasing A Cloud Never Dies, a documentary about our teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay), and we have written an open letter calling for peace and an immediate ceasefire.

Throughout his life, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay) was a tireless advocate for peace and human rights. Some of his deepest teachings, insights, and practices were forged in the wars in Vietnam.

There is no path to peace; peace is the path.

Thich Nhat Hanh

As Thay’s “spiritual continuation,” and in response to the war and growing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, on April 2, 2022, the International Plum Village Community is releasing A Cloud Never Dies, a moving documentary about Thay’s life, as well as a letter from his senior monastics calling for all parties to stop the killing in Ukraine.

Narrated by actor Peter Coyote, A Cloud Never Dies provides an intimate glimpse into the life of the global spiritual leader, poet, and peace activist revered around the world for his pioneering teachings on mindfulness, global ethics, and peace.
