Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk whose lifelong efforts to generate peace and reconciliation moved Martin Luther King, Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. 
 
Thay, as he is known by his followers, travels regularly, leading retreats on the art of mindful living.  He lives in southwest France, where he teaches, writes, and gardens.  He is author of Energy of Prayer, Being Peace, and many other books.

Check out this video we found on YouTube that captures the essence of Thich Nhat Hahn's teachings.
