Sing.
Sing
aloud
So True Being may follow the
Word

Endorsement by Sister Chan Khong
Sister Chan Khong is one of the original members of
Tiep Hien (the Order of Inter-Being), established by Thich Nhat Hanh
in 1966.
One of the founders of the School of Youth for
Social Service in Vietnam, she was exiled to Paris for her work as a
peace and social activist. There, she worked tirelessly for an end
to the war and to provide help for its victims.
Together
with Thich Nhat Hanh, she gave voice to the nonviolent Buddhist
movement through speaking tours, conferences and publications.
Today, she is a respected teacher and organizer, and president of
Plum Village, Thich Nhat Hanh’s community in France.
Music is the voice of the
Heart.
Music can remove barriers of division and
discrimination.

Sister Chan Khong
During the Vietnam war, our teacher
Thich Nhat Hanh, I and many friends in the Buddhist Peace Delegation
in Paris worked closely with Alfred Hassler for peace in our country
and in the world.
Laura Hassler now continues the work of her
father in her own way, through Musicians without Borders.
With music, she and her many musician colleagues work
to remove barriers from the hearts of those who are still caught in
division, pain and hatred.
I gladly add my name to those who
support the mission and work of Musicians without
Borders.
Sister Chan Khong
