The Order of Interbeing, or Tiếp Hiện in Vietnamese, was founded in 1966 by the Zen monk Thich Nhat Hanh . Tiếp means "being in touch with" and "continuing." Hiện means "realizing" and "making it here and now." "Interbeing" is a word coined by Thich Nhat Hanh to represent the Buddhist principles of impermanence and the not-self characteristic which reveal the inter-connected-ness of all things. The order contains members of the "Four-fold Sangha" (monks, nuns, lay men, and lay women) and is guided by the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings. |
