On this day when the U.S. remembers civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., here is an excerpt of a letter Thich Nhat Hanh wrote the morning after receiving the news of his friend's assassination:

"...the last time I saw him was in Geneva, at the Pacem in Terris II conference. I was up in his room in the morning, having breakfast and discussing the situation. We had scrambled eggs and toast and tea. I told him: 'Martin, do you know something? The peasants in Vietnam know about what you have been doing to help the poor people here and to stop the war in Vietnam. They consider you as a bodhisattva.'

A bodhisattva. An enlightened being trying to work for the emancipation of other human beings. He did not say anything but I knew he was so moved by what I said.

This morning I feel a little bit comforted because I remember that I did tell him so."

-Thich Nhat Hanh (In Love And Trust: Letters From a Zen Master)
