Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is probably the best known teacher of Buddhism other than the Dalai Lama. He is the author of many books. At 86, he is still leading retreats for monks, nuns lay men and lay women.
In 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
Thay, as is he is known by his followers, lives in Plum Village, France, where he hosts thousands of people a year.
Thay is also a wonderful poet, as this video demonstrates.
In 1966, Thay organized the Order of Interbeing for the four-fold community of monks, nuns and lay people.
I joined the order in 2008 to live my life in accordance with Thay’s teachings and express my love for him.
His poetry and chanting have moved me for years.
If you like poetry or chanting you’ll want to share this video with your friends.
