 In 2017, the Unified Buddhist Church Board of Directors decided to update the name to better reflect and represent the Plum Village community.Since the founding of Plum Village in France, the Plum Village name has been widely associated with Nhat Hanh and his Sangha, and Engaged Buddhism has been referred to as the type of Buddhism that is practiced by the Plum Village community.Hence the new name, Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism, Inc. (“PVCEB”), for the US organization.
