Thich Nhat Hanh in his peace movement in Vietnam sought as its primary tenet to unite all the different buddhist community in one effort. They never chose side throughtout the war, helping rebuild villages and such in both the factions territories. For this they were suspected and harassed by both sides. It`s documented.

World peace is a collaborative effort. No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful man

He is not a Buddha that feat is not necessary. I would place this man above the Lama.

I have read one of his books and while he did not say anything I did not already know you could feel his warmth and love come through the page.
