Community | Order of InterbeingThe Order of Interbeing (OI) was established by the renowned Buddhist teacher, meditation master, author, and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh in 1966. It was intended to be a way to help alleviate the terrible pain and suffering Buddhists were experiencing during the Vietnam War. People who are ordained in the Order vow to study, practice, and observe the Fourteen Mindfulness Trainings of the Order. Dharma Teacher Fred Eppsteiner describes the Order of Interbeing as a wonderful blend of traditional Buddhist ethical, meditation, and wisdom teachings with contemporary social concerns. Today, there are more than 1,000 lay and monastic men and women in the OI core community, and thousands more lay practitioners -- those who have taken the Five Mindfulness Trainings -- in the extended community.
