He was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., described by H. H. the Dalai Lama as someone whose teachings "can change individual lives and the life of our society, . . . [drawing] the connection between personal, inner peace and peace on Earth." Thich Nhat Hanh returned to Vietnam after more than half a century in exile and died in January 2022.
