The Buddhist teacher Thich Nhat Hanh is credited as the person who brought mindfulness to the West. However, this practice had its roots in the Eastern tradition. For his political activism, he was banned from his native Vietnam and spent nearly four decades in exile. In the end, he died at the Tu Hieu Temple in Hue. His organisation that teaches Zen is called the Plum Village Community of Engaged Buddhism.
