🇻🇳 To Be Vietnamese – Our Shared Practice ❤️
Welcome, dear beloved friend 🫶
To Be Vietnamese is a community where Vietnamese and international practitioners come together to learn Vietnamese, explore Vietnamese culture, and touch the spiritual roots of our beloved Thầy through language, mindfulness, and friendship.
🙏 Our Shared Practice
🌿 Watering Seeds of Understanding
Approach the Vietnamese language and culture with curiosity, humility, and a beginner's mind. We encourage thoughtful questions, careful learning, and respect for one another's experiences and perspectives.

🌿 Practicing Loving Speech & Deep Listening
"Brushing my teeth and rinsing my mouth
I vow to speak purely and lovingly
When my mouth is fragrant with right speech
A flower blooms in the garden of my heart."

Please speak with kindness, listen with compassion, and seek understanding rather than persuasion.
