| MLK with Thich Nhat Hanh |
"The moment I met Martin Luther King, Jr., I knew I was in the presence of a holy person." - Thich Nhat Hanh, Living Buddha, Living Christ (1995). (Hanh is a Buddhist monk who has been allowed to return to the Vietnamese temple where he was first ordained at age 16. His letter to MLK persuaded the civil rights activist to oppose the war in Vietnam.)

Happy MLK Day, all.

I read Hahn's book, *Living Buddha, Living Christ*, years ago. As a Christian, I found his exploration of Christian theology from an Eastern perspective to be thoughtful and interesting.
Anon 9:42, is that Fox News code? That is their go to line when ever anyone wants to address the plight of African Americans. A handy trump line not meant as a noble sentiment.
Kevin, I consider him a living saint. His comments on the relationship between life and death are quite interesting.
