Master Hsuan Hua's magnum opus: the complete commentary on the Shurangama Sutra, delivered in San Francisco between 1968 and 1971 to his early American students. Eight published volumes in English — the deepest single-sutra commentary by a Chinese Patriarch in modern times. Hsuan Hua opens every chapter, every line, every key term, with the rigor of a Tang-dynasty scholar and the urgency of a master who believed (correctly, in retrospect) that he was the last bridge of a particular lineage into the West.
The single most consequential Chan-Mahayana sutra commentary of the 20th century in English. The textual cornerstone of the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas lineage.

The Four Mantras of True Love
Thich Nhat Hanh's most accessible single teaching: four short sentences any practitioner can use immediately to transform the most important relationships in their life. 'Darling, I am here for you.' 'Darling, I know you are there, and I am happy.' 'Darling, I know you are suffering — that is why I am here.' 'Darling, I am suffering — please help.' Thầy walks each one slowly, then explains why these four sentences are the entire architecture of Engaged Buddhism's relational ethics.
A Cloud Never Dies
Memorial Documentary
The official memorial documentary released by Plum Village following Thich Nhat Hanh's passing on 22 January 2022. Narrated by Peter Coyote, it traces Thầy's life from rural Vietnam through the war years, exile, the founding of Plum Village, and the global spread of mindfulness practice. It is the definitive biographical anchor — the single piece of moving image to send anyone who wants to understand who Thich Nhat Hanh was and what he built.
Deep Relaxation
Plum Village Guided Practice
Sister Chân Không — Thich Nhat Hanh's lifelong collaborator and the spiritual force behind Plum Village's social-action lineage — guides the signature Plum Village 'Deep Relaxation' practice. A whole-body lying-down meditation that scans, soothes, and releases each region of the body in turn while weaving in compassion phrases. It is the single most-practiced guided meditation in the Plum Village tradition and a near-universal entry point for people who think they cannot meditate.
