A Cloud Never Dies
Memorial Documentary
Thich Nhat Hanh
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.

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.
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.
108 Adages of Wisdom & Silent Illumination Retreat Instructions
Master Sheng Yen — the late Dharma Drum founder who held both Caodong Chan and Linji lineages and trained more Western Chan teachers than any contemporary — combines two streams here. The '108 Adages of Wisdom' are short, bracing aphorisms originally aired on Taiwanese television; the Silent Illumination retreat instructions are the definitive contemporary transmission of mòzhào, the Caodong Chan equivalent of shikantaza. Together they form Sheng Yen's most complete teaching record in English.
