I had the great pleasure of being a student on the Plum Village UK Be Calm Be Happy course, which was led by Tan. I thoroughly enjoyed BCBH. It was interesting, informative and above all joyful. My practice has been deepened and my interest in, and desire to learn more about, the tradition, has definitely increased.
The teaching on the course was fantastic. Tan was patient, understanding, and allowed his experience to flow into the students. He provided a very good balance of teaching, and allowing the students to contribute and understand.
I really enjoyed the way in which Tan summarised the previous week(s) of the course before going into that week's teaching, which was a good reminder not only of previous content, but also in which the content of all the weeks was related and dependent on the others.
I would definitely recommend Tan, and this course. I felt calmer and happier when the time of the weekly sessions came around, it felt like coming home. More widely, it supported my daily practice by giving it context and linking it to a wider movement and giving it meaning.
Tan's teaching is accessible to all. He is helpful, calming, and increases personal peace and understanding.
