NP. RIP Thich Nhat Hanh

[David Morris]

I agree with both you and Mark.  The last thing an appreciation of Tich
Nhat Hanh should engender is a disagreement about his life’s message and
value.  But for that very reason ***memorializing his singular message of
peace***,  should steer clear of editorial comparisons.
