With a great aspiration for self-discovery and a quest for authentic values amid life's superficialities, Th\u1ea7y Minh Ni\u1ec7m made the decision to embark on the spiritual journey at the age of 17, fresh out of high school.<\/p>\n

Seven years of monastic life at Hu\u1ec7 Nghi\u00eam Buddhist Academy in B\u00ecnh T\u00e2n district, Ho Chi Minh City, saw Th\u1ea7y acquire all the essence of Mahayana Buddhist philosophy. However, it was still not the right timing for all this profound knowledge to truly penetrate his being. When faced with the greatest tragedy of his life \u2014 the simultaneous passing of his parents \u2014 Th\u1ea7y fell apart, realizing he hadn't even begun the journey of transformation.<\/p>\n

Setting aside scriptures to fully dedicate himself to practice, Th\u1ea7y turned to meditation. Starting with books introducing basic meditation practices by Ajahn Chah on the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, Th\u1ea7y felt as if he awakened each day, truly living as a practitioner.<\/p>\n

Two years later, at the age of 26, Th\u1ea7y arrived at Plum Village, the ideal meditation environment he had dreamed of. Even more fortunate was his proximity and receiving direct guidance from Zen Master Th\u00edch Nh\u1ea5t H\u1ea1nh, while practicing in the work of updating the Pratimoshka list of rules for Buddhist monastics.<\/p>\n

In 2005, at 30, Th\u1ea7y met meditation teacher Sao Tejaniya in Hawaii, USA, while seeking the essence of the Early Buddhist practice, Vipassana. If the practice of \"dwelling happily in the present moment\" at Plum Village helped Th\u1ea7y establish a foundation for returning to himself, finding refuge in the present moment, and developing determination, then the practice of \"mere recognition\" in Vipassana meditation helped Th\u1ea7y develop mindfulness \u2014 constantly observing his mental afflictions. Although guided by this second meditation teacher for just over 3 months, this encounter greatly contributed to his decision to retreat into seclusion for three years to confront his mental afflictions.<\/p>\n

In 2008, Th\u1ea7y looked out for meditation centers in the northeastern United States to verify his cultivation. From there, he began sharing his meditation experiences, using modern psychological methods instead of traditional religious language. It was also when Th\u1ea7y developed a dynamic meditation practice for himself, based on the original Theravada tradition and Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, called Insight Meditation. This was a continuation and development rather than a separate invention.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2010, Th\u1ea7y published \u201cHi\u1ec3u v\u1ec1 tr\u00e1i tim\u201d<\/em>,<\/em>quickly becoming popular among Vietnamese youth, voted as the favorite book of 2013 (by Fahasa) and bestseller in the country multiple times. This first book was also sold to Brain Works Asia Japan and sold on Amazon under the English title \"Understanding the Heart - The Art of Living in Happiness\"<\/em>. \"Understanding the Heart \u2013 The Art of Living in Happiness\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

From 2011 to 2014, Th\u1ea7y embarked on a pilgrimage around 25 states in the United States. He was living half the time in the wilderness and half the time living and volunteering on organic farms. Despite facing near-death experiences six times and enduring countless hardships, this journey served as potent medicine, liberating Th\u1ea7y from his old, limited self. And it can be said that this was one of the most beautiful periods in Th\u1ea7y's monastic life, as Nguyen Du famously said: \"Not practicing but is like practicing\"<\/em> (The Tale of Kieu<\/em>). \u201cKh\u00f4ng tu m\u00e0 c\u0169ng nh\u01b0 tu m\u1edbi l\u00e0\u201d<\/em> (Truy\u1ec7n Ki\u1ec1u<\/em>).<\/p>\n

In 2015, Th\u1ea7y founded B\u1ea3n Hoa Anh \u0110\u00e0o (Cherry Blossom Center) for Soul Nurturing & Life Skills Training in B\u1ea3o L\u1ed9c, L\u00e2m \u0110\u1ed3ng province. This center trains psychotherapists to serve the community, offering rehabilitation for those with emotional wounds and assisting companies and larger organizations in developing harmonious cohabiting and collaborating skills. And this is truly a gift that Th\u1ea7y wants to give to young people who are seeking a meaningful path.<\/p>\n

In September 2016, Th\u1ea7y released his second book, \"L\u00e0m Nh\u01b0 Ch\u01a1i\" (Work like play)<\/em> which was warmly received by readers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
