L’educazione alla pace negli insegnamenti del maestro Tich Nath Hanh (1926-2022)

Abstract

This paper reconstructs the educational view of the Tich Nath Hanh’s teachings, a recently deceased Vietnamese Buddhist monk who dedicated his life to promote peace in the world. In the community of Plum Village in France he experienced his teachings, for all educators, as educational practices for the inner peace, the only way to build peace on the planet. «If you want peace, be peace», he writes, because peace is a process of education and self-education, as Montessori, Don Milani, Capitini, Dolci had already understood in the second half of the twentieth century.
