He is exactly how I would have expected Jesus to be. That may seem a little controversial, but every utterance from his lips manifests a kind of holy peace and loving kindness in a way that I have not experienced other than reading the life of Jesus. Even then Jesus got angry a few times, yet Thich Nhat Hanh seems to have an almost constant divine restraint about him. If half of the Christians out there got to hear Thich Nhat Hanh speak there may well be a whole lot more Buddhists in this world… :)
