THICH NHAT HANH RETRUNS TO VIETNAM TO LIVE OUT THE REST OF HIS LIFE

11/1/2018

 
Thich Nhat Hanh, known affectionately to his followers as “Thay” (teacher), recently traveled back to his homeland in Vietnam from Thailand, where he has been convalescing since late December 2016.* The celebrated Zen master, who has been recovering from a severe stroke since 2014, said in a letter to his disciples that he had decided to spend the remainder of his life at Tu Hieu Pagoda in Hue, where he was ordained at the age of 16.

“The Buddhist knowledge and wisdom I learned from Tu Hieu is now spreading all over the world, and I believe it’s time for me to get back to my roots,” Thay, who is reported to be in stable health, said in his letter. “Students of Tu Hieu are now living and practicing Buddhism in many different places around the world and as a way to remind them of their roots, I want to die here in Tu Hieu.”



Thich Nhat Hanh arrived in Vietnam on 26 October, a year after his previous trip to his homeland.** His itinerary includes spending several days in Da Nang, with a visit to his birthplace in nearby Thua Thien in Hue. This is Thay’s fifth journey to Vietnam since he left the country in 1966.

Many in the West describe Thich Nhat Hanh as their first and foremost Buddhist teacher, largely through his writings and retreats.
