Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnamese Zen master, poet, and peace activist, has been a monk for over sixty years. In Vietnam, he founded the School of Youth for Social Service, whose students rebuilt villages that were destroyed by bombs and resettled tens of thousands of people fleeing the war zones. He also founded Van Hanh Buddhist University, La Boi Press, and the Tiep Hien Order of Interbeing. In 1966, he came to the U.S. and Europe at the invitation of the Fellowship of Reconciliation to represent the wishes of the Vietnamese people of all faiths who had no means to speak for themselves (New Yorker, June 25, 1966). He was nominated by Martin Luther King, Jr. for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. Unable to return to Vietnam after his overseas speaking tour, he received asylum in France where he served as chairman of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation to the Paris Peace Talks. He lives in Plum Village, a monastery and practice center in France, where he continues teaching, writing, gardening, and helping refugees worldwide.
