Rest in peace (though, I suppose he's just popping up somewhere else). His book "Fear" really helped me.

My wife thought “Thich Nhat Hanh” was an entrée, because his book “How to Eat” looks like it says, “How to Eat Thich Nhat Hanh”.
It’s a good, practical little book. We’ve been reading a passage per night to our kids before supper.

#13What a loss. The world is such a better place for his having lived and written and taught the way he did.
"You Are Here" is a great introduction to his books.

#19Wow. I used to go to the mindfulness retreats at his affiliated monastery in San Diego. You left your phone in your car, and had 3-5 days (or more sometimes) of meditation, fresh cooked meals, and nature. It was really peaceful, and so different from what I had expected (something like a cult, being plied for donations etc. there was none of that). I stopped going when I left California, but it's hard to feel much mo…

#20I randomly bought The Heart of Buddha’s Teaching two decades ago at my university bookstore and it changed me forever. I’m not a Buddhist today but I’d like to think the core principles are still there. A tremendous loss.

This book really got me into Buddhist theory. I really like how the ends with direct translations of suttras you can by then actually read and understand quite well. Transmissions of 2500 y/o teachings that stood the test of time, come within reach of someone not having any study in that direction.
We lost a great teacher.
