In this tribute to Thich Nhat Hanh. Jon Kabat-Zinn reads from Thay's book The Miracle Of Mindfulness and captures the essence of this great human being.

"So just to say, Thich Nhat Hanh, the great Vietnamese Zen master poet peace activist, passed away not long ago at his monastery in Hue in Vietnam. Thay was a major source of horror and suffering, which I remember directly myself in the sixties during the Vietnam War. And so it left me feeling just the poignancy of, of Umthan no longer being here, having given so much to the planet over so many years.

And you know, in, in his last year, Martin Luther King, who’s who came in touch with Han when he was a young activist, you know, anti-war activist, actually nominated Ty as he was called for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. And there was no Nobel Peace, peace Prize awarded in 1967, but he would’ve been a wonderful person to do it because you had the Vietnam War raging."
