Thank you for the latest issue of The Mindfulness Bell. I particularly enjoyed the question and answer section with Thay on the first few pages-what wonderful wisdom.

Since reading the first of Thay's books translated into Portuguese six years ago, I've been trying to practice his teachings. Last year, I went to the Autumn retreat at Plum Village and was happy to confirm that he was the person I had imagined. I came back to my country wanting to do my best to convey Thay's teachings to the people of my country. I would like to make contact with other people and be part of your Sangha. I would also like to publish a newsletter on Thay's teachings and translate some of the material from The Mindfulness Bell.

I live in one of the older neighborhoods in Omaha. The tension between those of different race and socio-economic status sometimes takes the form of verbal abuse, vandalism, and even physical assault. Over this past year, we have been trying to create a neighborhood gathering which would bring these disparate elements together in the safest possible atmosphere. The goal is to have everyone stand together in a circle for a moment, look one another in the eyes, and acknowledge the absolute goodness and beauty of all human beings . We hope to sow seeds of peace and reconciliation in the collective consciousness of our neighborhood. We have had three such gatherings so far with mixed success. There is quite a bit of resistance to the idea. I would appreciate any communication regarding similar efforts that Sangha members are engaged in as well as suggestions for how we might improve our effort.
