Thay's 100th Celebration Exhibition [Photo Gallery]

Our Sangha gathered for a special Day of Mindfulness celebrating 100 years since the birth of our beloved teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay).

by Deer Park Editors on November 3, 2026

On Sunday, October 25, we gathered as a multifold Sangha for a special Day of Mindfulness celebrating 100 years since the birth of our beloved teacher, Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thay). The gathering honored Thay’s life, teachings, and enduring legacy of peace, compassion, and mindfulness.

The morning featured a heartfelt program of live music and poetry inspired by Thay’s life and teachings. Monastics also shared photographs and personal stories from different chapters of his life, offering glimpses into his childhood, his journey as a spiritual teacher, and his lifelong commitment to peace and Engaged Buddhism. 

The celebration offered an opportunity for the Sangha to come together in gratitude, remember the many ways Thay has touched our lives, and renew our commitment to continuing his teachings through our daily practice.
