A more widespread understanding of Engaged Buddhism, which brings together both Mahayana and Thien forms is one of the chief legacies of Thich Nhat Hanh. He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1967 for his peace activism during the Vietnam War. Thich Nhat Hanh has been the subject of several documentaries and even a graphic novel. A lifetime devoted to peace and mindfulness, especially teaching its benefits to others is what he will be most remembered for.
