    Thich Nhat Hanh, the revered Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, died on January 22, 2022, at the age of 95. A memorial ceremony was held at the Tu Hieu Pagoda in Vietnam the next day to pay tribute to the late monk. Born in 1926 in the Vietnamese city of Hue, Nhat Hanh was ordained at the age of 16. He introduced “mindfulness” and Zen Buddhism to the West and advocated for world peace through his anti-war activism. Nhat Hanh lived in exile in southern France for almost 40 years after he was banished for denouncing the Vietnam war. He returned to his home country in late 2018.

    His books have literally changed my life and my entire being for the better. He believed that there is no death, only transition. Like a cloud that turns into rain and evaporates back into a cloud. This man was a real life Buddha. If you haven’t heard of him I highly recommend looking into his teachings if you have an interest in Buddhism or simply improving your mental/ emotional health.

    “Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile. Dwelling in the present moment I know this is the only moment.”
    His teachings have blessed and enlightened many going through hardship. Sad to see this is the last farewell. Rest in peace 🙏

    I did 3 years upstate. My cousin sent me 2 of his books “The heart of the Buddha’s teachings” and Fear”. I love this man and his teachings. If it weren’t for him. I wouldn’t have learned mindfulness and the values of a compassionate human being. I most likely would’ve killed myself from ill mental health while incarcerated. All praise to the most high and may he rest in the land of bliss forever. I pray that he have achieved nirvana in this lifetime and transcended beyond the materialization of this world.

    This really hits me hard. I’m an avid viewer of Reverend Hanh, listening to his teachings of mindfulness and restraint. You can tell he didn’t feel any suffering as he left, he simply slowly drifted away from this transitory world towards one that can only be experienced with awakened minds.

    Thank you, South China Morning Post, for allowing me and others around the world to voice our freedom of speech. I am a new Buddhist and have my own personal religious beliefs. I was born and lives in the United States and love my Vietnamese, Japanese and Chinese etc... friends. Thick Nhat Hanh taught me a story of his first disciple, Brother Nhat Tri, during the Vietnam War. The lesion learned was that Buddhists should not take sides. That is that only through understanding and meditation that we stop suffering and understand each other. I wish politicians and diplomats would take his advice. I am praying for both Thick Nhat Hahn and Brother Nhat Tri that suffered and as Buddhist say did not die during the Vietnam war. The story is in "The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching 2015" Chapter 25. People in different countries are not so different. Please try to understand. Gassho, TL
