There are a couple contradictory reports out there about how likely he is to recover. From "he is dying" to "full recovery possible."

Either way, my thoughts are with him a Plum Village tonight. I wish a wonderful teacher peace and comfort.

2. Swift and gentle healing to him

He is a magnificent teacher.

7. I should have included more in the OP:

I was on mobile and wanted to get the news out since it wasn't being widely reported.

Thich Nhat Hanh became a monk at the age of 23. He is considered the second most influential Buddhist leader in the West, after Dalai Lama.

He is also a poet, and a peace activist. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize by Martin Luther King, Jr., in 1967, and is the author of more than 100 books, including the best-selling The Miracle of Mindfulness.
