 The Eglise Bouddhique Unifiée du Vietnam continued to serve as the legal entity for Nhat Hanh's work after the end of the war.As Nhat Hanh's teachings became more internationally known, especially in the United States, a separate but related organization was established in Vermont as the Unified Buddhist Church, Inc., in 1998 

Through the Unified Buddhist Church, Nhat Hanh established the Sweet Potato community in 1975, which later became the Plum Village Monastery in 1982; the Dharma Cloud Temple and the Dharma Nectar Temple in 1988; and the Adornment of Loving Kindness Temple in 1995.Thich Nhat Hanh’s sangha (or Buddhist community) in France is usually referred to as the “Plum Village Sangha.” A nonsectarian community of about 200 monks, nuns, and resident lay-practitioners live permanently at Plum Village, whilst its annual visitors total some 8,000.
