Thich Nhat Hahn, Buddhist monk, just passed away. He was 95.
He inspired a large following and wrote about 100 books. I have a few.

 

His focus was compassion and nonviolence. The current Dalai Lama called him a friend and spiritual brother.

Thanks for the pic.  I'm not familiar with him but I get a very strong vibe of a sweet and kind soul from him.

 

RIP

Very sad.  A good time to read some of his books.  I have listened to some of his guided meditations and his gentleness comes through.

Re: Thich Nhat Hanh passes away

In the early 90's; I was lucky enough to attend a small, intimate gathering with him. Very inspiring. At the time, I was not familiar with him, my sisters in law were, and introduced me to his teachings.  RIP

That's so sad! He is an amazing human being.
