I had a privilege to work with Venerable Thich Hanh-Tuan on different occasions. From the last interview with him for my dissertation on Mindful Leadership and the contributions of Vietnamese Buddhism Monks in American, this is the summary of our interview. His brief Biography as a participant in the research was published in my dissertation. In honor of Venerable Thich-Hanh-Tuan and sending him our prayers, please join us for a moment of silence. May Thay rest in peace. May all be well.
