activist. Born in Vietnam in 1926, he became a Zen Buddhist monk at
the age of 16. Over 7 decades of teaching, he published more than
100 books, which have sold more than 4 million copies in the United

Buddhism as a path to social and political transformation are

centers around the world. He passed away in 2022 at the age of 95
