Who Is Thich Nhat Hanh?

T hich Nhat Hanh is a Buddhist monk from a faraway country called Vietnam, but he now lives in France. His name sounds like tick not haan. But you might like to call him Th y ( tay ), which means teacher. That s what all the children who visit Th y with their families call him.
People come from around the world to learn from Th y about how to be more mindful, and how to live in peace and happiness on our beautiful Earth.
When you learn about Thich Nhat Hanh s life, you will see what makes him amazing. He shows people how to love each other and to not be violent. He loves to walk and talk with children and their families.
A Poem by Thich Nhat Hanh

T h y wrote this short poem.
Kiss the Earth

Walk and touch peace every moment. Walk and touch happiness every moment. Each step brings a fresh breeze. Each step makes a flower bloom. Kiss the Earth with your feet. Bring the Earth your love and happiness. The Earth will be safe when we feel safe in ourselves.


Th y leads a walk for peace.
Th y s Life in and beyond Vietnam
