Performance & Skits

Legends of Earth Cake, Sky Cake

"Legends of Earth Cake, Sky Cake" was based on “Earth Cake Sky Cake” in “A Taste of Earth” published by Parallax Press.

During the New Year of 2009, we felt the need to explain the meaning of wrapping earth cakes, because practitioners that come to visit Plum Village each year during the Lunar New Year are quite surprised to see the four-fold sangha spending one whole day wrapping earth cakes and staying up the whole night to cook them.  So please enjoy this video performance made by the monks and nuns of Plum Village…
