It is with a heavy heart that I hear the news tonight at 10:30pm my first Buddhist meditation teach an the most extraordinary mindfulness master Thich Nhat Hanh has passed away.
Your words of encouragement you personally shared with me on retreat at Plum Village will never be forgotten and I with all my heart share your knowledge and wisdom for ever more.
Words can’t describe the true shining brilliance felt in your presence, something I’m so proud and honoured to of experienced. Because of you I ordained as a Buddhist monk to learn this wonderful way of life and discover the magical secrets you shared with me.

Dear Beloved Community,
With a deep mindful breath, we announce the passing of our beloved teacher, Thay Nhat Hanh, at 10:30pm on January 22, 2022 at Từ Hiếu Temple in Huế, Vietnam, at the age of 95.
Thay has been the most extraordinary teacher, whose peace, tender compassion, and bright wisdom has touched the lives of millions. Whether we have encountered him on retreats, at public talks, or through his books and online teachings–or simply through the story of his incredible life–we can see that Thay has been a true bodhisattva, an immense force for peace and healing in the world. Thay has been a revolutionary, a renewer of Buddhism, never diluting and always digging deep into the roots of Buddhism to bring out its authentic radiance.
