Thich Nhat Hanh is a Vietnamese Buddhist monk. During the war in Vietnam, he worked tirelessly for reconciliation between North & South Vietnam. His lifelong efforts to generate peace moved Martin Luther King, Jr. to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967.
Thich Nhat Hanh wrote about Thich Quang Duc who self immolated as a protest to the Vietnam war. Before Ven Thich Quang Duc did so, he wrote a compassionate letter to many people explaining his actions. This action was done out of compassion, not out of anger or hate.
This is part of Thich Nhat Hanh's 14 precepts.
