RIP: Thích Nhất Hạnh

He was a Buddhist monk, Zen master, and peace activist. His books are life changing. I've not read them all, but I've read a good handful.

He was 95.

Wikipedia notes: On November 2, 2018, a press release from the Plum Village community confirmed that Nhất Hạnh, then aged 92, had returned to Vietnam a final time and would live at Từ Hiếu Temple for "his remaining days." In a meeting with senior disciples, he had "clearly communicated his wish to return to Vietnam using gestures, nodding and shaking his head in response to questions."

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

I saw this yesterday and was caught by surprise. Not sure why given his age.

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod
