Order of Interbeing
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Order of Interbeing, or Tiếp Hiện in Vietnamese, was founded in 1966 by Vietnamese Buddhist 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.
