Welcome. I am a lay Dharma Teacher in the Plum Village tradition of Zen Master Thích Nhất Hạnh, practicing with the Ottawa Pagoda Sangha in Ottawa, Canada. This site gathers Dharma talks, guided meditations, and academic teaching materials in one place, in the hope that something here may be of use to your practice.
The name of this site is the meaning of the Dharma name I received in the Order of Interbeing: Chân Đạo Lữ — True Companion on the Path which names my aspiration to be a spiritual friend.
“My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground on which I stand.”The Five Remembrances
