by Thich Nhat Hanh, Brother Phap HuuJuly 14, 2022
This short film about Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's mindful art of calligraphy consists of original footage from a public event at an art gallery in New York, in 2013; and more recent material with Brother Phap Huu taking us through a short tour of Thay's working space in the Sitting Still hut (Upper Hamlet, Plum Village, France).
"In my calligraphy, there is ink, tea, breathing, mindfulness and concentration. This is meditation. This is not work. Suppose I write ‘breathe’; I am breathing at the same time. To be alive is a miracle and when you breathe in mindfully, you touch the miracle of being alive." – Thich Nhat Hanh
