Born in 1926 in Thua Thien-Hue as Nguyen Xuan Bao, he and the rest of his family moved to the mountainous area in the north of Thanh Hoa Province when he was five to be with his father, dispatched to the region a year prior to monitor forest clearance. Besides his time at school, the young Bao learned several other languages like French and Old Chinese. He was also interested in books and articles about Buddhism that his brother brought home. Bao recounted a moment when he was nine years old and saw the image of the Buddha on the cover of a magazine. The Buddha's image of serenity and tranquility was a stark contrast to the pain and inequality people had to face at the time, when the country was still under French dominance.
