 The Paragraph Farmer: Questioning Thich Nhat Hanh
Hanh confirms the accuracy of that summation by Kreeft and his co-author, one Ron Tacelli: "For a Buddhist to be attached to any doctrine, even a Buddhist one, is to betray the Buddha," Hanh writes.
That Peter Kreeft was right to say that Thich Nhat Hanh and his tradition do not acknowledge the law of noncontradiction is apparent from Hanh’s critique of a statement by the late Pope John Paul II.
You see, Thich Hanh is exactly of one ancient branch of Buddhism that tends to avoid discoursive thinking and discoursive practices (creating, transimitting and interpretating sophisticated "messages") and relies on ethically directed agency and contemplative practices mostly.
