User talk:RyGuyVerve/Plum Village Monastery

Good start - keep going
Hello!

I see you've started drafting your edits to the article, which is great. And yet, it is such a skeletal page so far, there's a lot more you could do with it. What sources have you found on the actual monastery itself? Or, about Thich Nhat Hanh's relationship with France vis-a-vis Vietnam, which was, of course, a Vietnamese colony?

Hello, this is my first article that I am editing for Wikipedia. I would like to add another section on this page to talk about the prevalence of female Buddhists at the plum village. Maybe as well, an page detailing how Thích Nhất Hạnh (TNH) reached out to the large Vietnamese community in France, and on that maybe more information regard TNH, how he got to France, his history and more on his monastic background.

It is perhaps not easy to sift through all the hagiographies of this beloved Buddhist teacher to find some scholarship on his communities around the world. Or, maybe you can go ahead and use the hagiographies to make some observations about the community and life there. There's an interesting article along those lines by George Zimmerman, a Christian visitor to Plum Village: https://www.plough.com/en/topics/faith/witness/a-visit-to-thich-nhat-hanh

Good luck!
