Join meditation expert and author, Benjamin W. Decker and actress & activist AnnaLynne McCord, as they give a relevant, timely and deeply moving dialogue around the life and death of Thich Nhat Hanh, the highly regarded, globally influential zen monk from Vietnam. Hanh recently made his transition on January 19th, 2021 at the age of 95.
You will hear Ben and AnnaLynne give a detailed recount of Thich Nhat Hanh or Thay, meaning teacher, as his students affectionately called him, including his forty year exile from Vietnam, his country of origin. They also cover his collaboration in the creation of peace with Dr. Martin Luther King as he urged King to oppose the Vietnam War. Dr. King nominated him for a Nobel Peace Prize but the prize was not awarded to anyone that year. You will also learn about Hanh’s work in engaged Buddhism, the application of Buddhist principles to political and social reform, and the importance of spreading mindfulness, compassion, and nonviolence. Ben and AnnaLynne both give thoughtful responses and contemplate how these teachings can be applied to rights of children, parenting, leadership, and how we treat one another.
Ben and AnnaLynne help guide us towards how we can all bring Hanh’s teachings into our daily lives, families, and our justice and educational systems. “When another person makes you suffer, it’s because he suffers deeply within himself and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment, he needs help. This is the message they are sending.” - Thich Nhat Hanh
AnnaLynne McCord is an actress, activist and the founder of The Love Storm, a mass meditation initiative aimed at raising the collective energy against slavery of the mind and the body.
