#2A beautiful man who showed us a way to die with dignity and mindful awareness

#3Wow. 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 more free than that these days. You're on a schedule for sleep, meals and events, basically making no decisions, and without internet pulling your attention, you feel like your mind is coming back to yourself.

#4His books helped me through some of my toughest times, especially “No mud, no lotus” and “Work”. He’s had a big influence on me and I hoped to meet him at some point. I’m teary eyed and sad to hear this. He lived a beautiful life and was a bright light in our world.

#6The first spiritual book I ever read was Being Peace at the age of 15. So, 28 years ago. And, that's what started it all for me. RIP, TNH.

#7Incredibly sad. TNH was a major influence on me when I was searching for the answers to big questions and dealing with heavy depression.

#8A true loss. His teachings will live on.
Reading his books when I was younger completely changed my world view - for the better.

#9I 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.
