Venerable Sister Chan Khong is one of the first monastic disciples of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. She continues her more than 55-year service as Thich Nhat Hanh’s main assistant and director of his humanitarian projects. The eldest nun of the International Plum Village Sangha, she is known as the compassionate, persistent, and brave singing nun who has devoted her life to working for peace and engaged Buddhism.

You are invited to attend a special evening to inherit the insight and listen to the sweet voice of the Singing Nun with the support of the Plum Village Monastics in a musical dharma expression as a way of cultivating and bringing peace and harmony to our body and mind.
