Brother Năm Sắc
Brother Năm Sắc, a Vietnamese monastic ordained in 2011, first encountered the Plum Village tradition in the summer of 2007 at a youth retreat at Prajna Monastery, Vietnam. Encouraged by a family friend, his mother brought him and his older brother to the retreat—a transformative experience that inspired both to follow the monastic path. Today, his brother is also a monk in Thai Plum Village.
As an active member of the Dharma Teacher Council, Care Taking Council, and Sound Team, Brother Năm Sắc plays a vital role in the monastery. He is responsible for organizing events and activities, as well as managing the sound system to support the Sangha's daily practices and ceremonies. Brother Năm Sắc nurtures his creative and communal spirit through hobbies like playing the violin, listening to classical music, making coffee for his fellow monastics, and sharing his love of cooking with the community.
