Brother Phap Linh

Brother Phap Linh (Brother Spirit) is a Zen Buddhist monk and cellist, ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh in 2008. Before entering monastic life he studied mathematics at Cambridge and worked professionally as a composer. Soon after his ordination Thich Nhat Hanh entrusted to him the creation of a new Buddhist liturgy in English and French, and he has since composed many of the community's best-loved chants. He has also edited several of Thich Nhat Hanh’s books. Today he divides his time between training the next generation of teachers at Plum Village, contemplating the nature of reality and leading retreats for scientists, artists and climate leaders around the world.
