* Thich Nhat Hanh - Buddhist Zen Master, poet and scholar (110 books)
THICH NHAT HANH (1926 – 2022) was a Vietnamese Zen Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet and teacher, who founded the Plum Village Tradition. He coined the term "Engaged Buddhism" — a new kind of Buddhism that is engaged with the challenges of our time, and in which personal spiritual growth and service to society go hand in hand. Widely known as the "father of mindfulness", he was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.
Nhat Hanh established dozens of monasteries and practice centers and spent many years living at the Plum Village Monastery, which he founded in 1982 in southwest France, traveling internationally to give retreats and talks. He promoted deep listening as a nonviolent solution to conflict and sought to raise awareness of the interconnectedness of all elements in nature.
He was also known for his involvement in interfaith dialogue, and was noted for his friendships with Martin Luther King Jr. and Thomas Merton. During the war in Vietnam, Nhat Hanh worked tirelessly for reconciliation between North and South Vietnam and his courageous efforts moved King to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967. King wrote in his Nobel nomination: "His ideas for peace, if applied, would build a monument to ecumenism, to world brotherhood, to humanity."
Nhat Hanh's many books, which cover topics including spiritual guides and Buddhist texts, teachings on mindfulness, poetry, story collections, and scholarly essays on Zen practice, have been translated into more than 40 languages and sold over five million copies worldwide.
Thich Nhat Hanh died on 22 January 2022, aged 95, and was widely mourned by various Buddhist groups around the world.
