ティク・ナット・ハン

Leading Function+Fi-p (Morality & Duty)

During the Vietnam War, "anger is the compost of understanding" — deep reflection on personal moral responsibility as the core of +Fi-p action. Moral care directed toward specific human beings.

Creative Function-Ne-c (Common Sense & Peace)

Quietly expressing the breadth of human goodness and spiritual potential — the core of -Ne-c creative function. A gentle appeal to the inner conscience of human beings.

Vulnerable Function 1+Se-p weak (Achievement & Protection)

Records of +Se-p weak: power, social influence, and coercive action. Concentration on inner sincerity reduced outward power-seeking behaviour.

Vulnerable Function 2-Ti-c weak (System & Transformation)

Records of -Ti-c weak: logical and systematic thoroughness. Emotional compassion and intuitive care overwhelmed logical system-building.

Quadra / Temperament / Club

Quadra: Delta Quadra (Tradition) — deep trust in human suffering as a spiritual value. Engaged Buddhism as a form of social practice connecting inner and outer peace.

Temperament: "Patient, slow to anger, tolerant" and "calm, stable, relaxed" — overwhelming evidence of the Balanced-Stable temperament. For 40 years of exile he maintained his practice of mindfulness.

Club: Humanitarian-Artistic Club activity through literature, art, and ethics. Thich Nhất Hạnh's work functioned as the integration of artistic completeness and humanitarian mission.

Worldview & Attitude

The world is simple and inherently good (positivism). Trust in order and cooperation, dedication to a stable community as the premise of action. "Inner and outer peace is possible through mindfulness" — optimistic pacifism. Belief that the suffering of war and division can be transcended through inner practice.

Attitude toward Change: Implementing change as a realistic plan in a gradual, step-by-step manner. Rejection of participation in the Vietnam War and the founding of engaged Buddhism pursued through daily mindfulness practice.
