Thich Nhat Hanh, the Zen Buddhist monk, poet and peace activist who in
the 1960s came to prominence as an opponent of the Vietnam War, died on Saturday aged 95 surrounded by his followers in the temple where his
spiritual journey began.

In a majestic body of works and public appearances spanning decades,
Thich Nhat Hanh spoke in gentle yet powerful tones of the need to "walk
as if you are kissing the earth with your feet"....

Towards the height of the Vietnam War in the 1960s he met civil rights
leader Martin Luther King, whom he persuaded to speak out against the
conflict.

King called Thich Nhat Hanh "an apostle of peace and non-violence" and nominated him for the Nobel Peace Prize.
