Buddhism on war and climate change
Submitted by Richard Galustian…
Thich Nhat Hanh (known as Thầy) was nominated by Martin Luther King, in 1967, and MLK rigorously advocated for a Nobel Peace Prize to recognise Thich Nhat Hanh’s huge efforts to end the Vietnam war.
Thích Nhất Hạnh is often referred to as Thầy “master; teacher” or as Thầy Nhất Hạnh by his followers. Any Vietnamese monk or nun in the Mahayana tradition can be addressed as “Thầy”. Vietnamese Buddhist monks are addressed Thầy tu “monk”.
