How you can help the Thich Nhat Hanh Continuation and Legacy Foundation

Posted: 17 Dec 2011 07:00 AM PST

Plum Village, the main center for the community of Thich Nhat Hanh, invites us all to make monthly or one-time gifts to the Thich Nhat Hanh Continuation and Legacy Foundation, a fundraising effort that seeks to deepen the Zen teacher's community and its "capacity to bring healing and transformation to our world." Among other things, the foundation will introduce Thich Nhat Hanh's teachings to new audiences, provide relief assistance to children and others affected by flooding in Vietnam, support three monasteries (Blue Cliff, Deer Park, and Magnolia Grove) sponsor monks and nuns in Thailand and Vietnam, and improve online offerings from the community. Make a donation and/or find out more here.

For more about Thich Nhat Hanh and his community, see the current issue of the Shambhala Sun, which features an exclusive interview, a teaching, and more.

Federal judge dismisses case involving Buddhists on Twitter

Posted: 16 Dec 2011 03:00 PM PST

The New York Times reports today on the outcome of a federal criminal case brought against William Lawrence Cassidy by Alyce Zeoli, who is better known as Jetsunma Ahkon Lhamo — a recognized tulku within the Palyul lineage of the Nyingma Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Spiritual Director for Kunzang Odsal Palyul Changchub Choling, and subject of Martha Sherrill's popular book The Buddha from Brooklyn.

Cassidy had been accused of causing Zeoli "substantial emotional distress" after publishing over 8,000 tweets and blog posts about her. (The Times quotes one example: "Do the world a favor and go kill yourself. P.S. Have a nice day.") Judge Roger W. Titus has dismissed the case, noting that "the government's indictment here is directed squarely at protected speech: anonymous, uncomfortable Internet speech addressing religious matters." As the Times points out, the case had "potentially
far-reaching consequences for freedom of expression on the Internet," and was being watched closely for this reason; they had previously reported on the case at the beginning, focusing closely on this aspect.
