A violent crackdown is underway in Vietnam. The government has beaten the monks and nuns of Bat Nha and literally destroyed the monastery founded by Buddhist monk and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh. Read this account from Tricycle.
Thich Nhat Hanh is, I suspect, perhaps the most peaceful human living on the planet. In 1967 Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Thich Nhat Hanh was a close friend of the late Thomas Merton, a monk of another tradition and an equally profound proponent of peace.
The nuns and monks of Bat Nha urgently need the attention and support of the global community.
