Ten monks and nuns led a week of engaged mindfulness with students and faculty in late April. The monastics, from Deer Park Monastery in California, included brother Phap Luu ’97. “Each morning, as we watched nearly 100 students and faculty walk in silence across the Green to join us for sitting meditation in Rollins Chapel, we felt that Dartmouth as a community was returning to the roots of the university in medieval monastic culture in Europe, contemplation and study going hand in hand,” he says.  “It is a movement forward into mindfulness and, at the same time, of returning home. What is the meaning of an education? What are people for?”
