Not sure what to say?

I went to see Thich Nhat Hanh on October 30, 1997 in the District of Columbia. He was a masterful Zen Buddhist teacher and has left a legacy on his teachings Being Peace. I was very inspired by his poetry and Zen art which I found in his books over the years. Though I belong to a Theravada Sangha I have found much to learn from all types of practices such as Zen and am so happy I came to know this extraordinary teacher within this lifetime. I like his phrase Being Peace as that is what he did...

Rest easy Thay!! Thanks for everything!!

My deepest condolences. We have lost but will follow the teachings of Mr. Thich Nhat Hanh. Peace will come no matter how hard or how long the road be. It is for us to spread his teachings and practice mindfulness. My condolences to all his Family.

Please accept my sincere condolences to the Hanh Family. Mr. Thich Nhat Hanh toured the world calling for peace, his home country banned him from returning. We have the hope and trust in God that one day there will be peace in a paradise earth for all mankind to live, what a wonderful time, that will be. May the God of all comfort who is the hearer of prayers be with you in your time of need with his loving kindness and peace as He strengthens you to cope during this difficult time. May...

The world has suffered a great loss. You have touched so many people with your wisdom and you have made the world a better place. Your teachings will live on. "Peace is every step. Peace is every breath." ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

A life well lived for service of the people. The world has my deepest sympathy for this loss. To Thich’s family I offer my condolences. My prayer is that you abound in peace and calm

So many of his teachings are in my daily practice. Part of this practice is gratitude for Thay.

Thank you for the peace you taught me to live.. Forever Grateful. Sugie

May That rest in eternal peace in the Brighter World.
