Love in Action: Writings on Nonviolent Social Change
Thich Nhat Hanh has played a central role both in the development of a socially-engaged Buddhism, and in the continued ecumenical religious witness for peace and justice in the face of the tremendous suffering of todayï¿½s world.  During the war in Vietnam, he founded the School of Youth for Social Service, a movement of over 10,000 young people in support of peace in his homeland, and served as chair of the Buddhist Delegation to the Paris Peace Talks.  His words and actions greatly impacted such figures as Martin Luther King, Jr., who in 1967 spoke out against the war, and nominated Nhat Hanh for the Nobel Peace Prize.
