The Buddhist meditation teacher Thich Nhat Hanh passed away last night. He has been inspiring thousands of people in the West to practice meditation since the 1960's.
This is a message from Plum Village in France, where he has lived for the last 60 years:
"The International Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism announces that our beloved teacher Thich Nhat Hanh has passed away peacefully at Tu Hieu Temple in Hue, Vietnam, at 00:00hrs on 22nd January, 2022, at the age of 95.
