Thich Nhat Hanh's Visit to Vietnam 2007

This is only the second time that Thay has returned to his native Vietnam. For decades he was unwelcome in his home country by the communist government.

He is currently still there until May 9, 2007. This trip the Zen master is working to heal the wounds of the Vietnam war and to support the fledgling sanghas in this still communist state.

The remaining wounds of the Vietnam War will be work on by organizing three Great Chanting Ceremonies in the three main cities of Vietnam – Saigon, Hue and Hanoi. The ceremonies will be led by many holy High Monks of each region, to pray for the liberation of the many people who tragically died during the war and after the war. There will be a teaching every day during the Ceremony period so that the understanding and the liberation will be realized in the hearts of the relatives of the deceased people.

Thay is also going to lead many retreats for monastics as well as for lay people in Vietnam.
