 On December 31, 1963, the General Assembly of Vietnamese Unified Buddhism came to a resolution to unify all Buddhist congregations as a single congregation called the Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam (“UBCVN”) thus realizing a desire embraced by Buddhist believers for nearly fifty years.In 1969, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh was nominated by the UBCVN to be the chair of the Vietnamese Buddhist Peace Delegation to the Paris Peace Accords.Nhat Hanh registered Eglise Bouddhique Unifiée du Vietnam (Unified Buddhist Church of Vietnam) as the organization to represent the Buddhist voice in the peace process in France.
