Volunteering

“My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.”

Thich Nhat Hanh

Dear Friends, 

We are very grateful for our volunteers helping us bring our offerings and fulfill our aim to spread Thay’s teachings in the UK. Bringing their practice “off the cushion’ and extending their loving service to our community and the world, our generous volunteers are sharing their energy, time and gifts to help our community thrive and grow! 

If you would like to join us in the practice of generosity (Dana), help us to offer more practice opportunities and meet other practitioners too, we’d like to hear from you!
