Integrative Medicine

He is my favorite monk. He was born in central Vietnam in 1926, and started his training at the age of sixteen. He was one of the first bhikshus to study a secular subject at university in Saigon, and one of the first six monks to ride a bicycle!!

He was a Professor of Clinical Psychology, Director of the Oxford Mindfulness Centre and Wellcome Principal Research Fellow in the University of Oxford Department of Psychiatry. He worked on why some people become suicidal when they get depressed, and others don’t and used their new understandings of who was most at risk to adapt Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) to prevent new episodes of depression for those who were most vulnerable.
