I never had the pleasure of meeting Thay in person. Yet I feel that I know him. First, the people that have met him radiate a certain "Thay" that comes from many seeds that Thay and the practice have nourished; Second, the Sangha has Thay's fingerprints all over it as the Sangha radiates compassion and wisdom to the world. Third, I know him through his many publications and talks. Such profound wisdom sprinkled with intense compassion. His presence will continue to flourish through the Sanga for well into the future.
