Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk who has lived abroad for many years and made many contributions to introducing and developing Buddhism and Vietnamese culture in the world

The death of the Zen master is a loss to the Buddhist community in general and Vietnamese Buddhism in particular

Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh was born in 1926 in Thanh Trung village, Quang Dien district (Thua Thien-Hue).

Zen master's real name is Nguyen Dinh Lang. He liked to read Buddhist books at the age of 9, and at 12 he decided to become a monk

The Zen master had nearly four decades away from his country, including the years he traveled around the world to call for support against war and restore peace to Vietnam, spreading Buddhism and guiding spiritual, mindfulness practice before returning to Vietnam in 2005 - the time when he and his disciples traveled around the country to lecture on Plum Village practice./.
