一行禪師常被學生稱為「偨」（thầy），為越南固有詞對男性上位者的敬稱，又有稱為「偨一行」（Thầy Nhất Hạnh）。越南佛教大乘傳承的僧眾都能用「thầy」此敬語。越南佛教男出家眾會被尊稱為 thầy tu 意指「僧侶」，而女出家眾會被尊稱為「師姑」（sư cô）或「師婆」（sư bà）。在梅村網站的越南語版本裡，禪師被稱為「禪師一行」 （Thiền Sư Nhất Hạnh） 。[10]
2005年，經過了漫長的協商過程，一行禪師獲得越南政府批准歸國訪視，得以在越南從事教學活動、出版他的四本著作、偕同僧團的出家和在家眾在境內移動，包括禪師祖庭順化市慈孝寺。[46]此行並非毫無爭議。代表「越南統一佛教會」[47]致函越南政府的釋圓定（Thich Vien Dinh）籲請一行禪師發表對抗越南政府妨礙宗教自由的聲明。釋圓定害怕此行恐被越南政府用於宣傳目的，等於是對外宣稱越南的宗教自由已有起色，但事實正相反。[48][49][50]
儘管爭議未解，一行禪師仍於2007年再度重返闊別多年的越南，與此同時，被越南政府取締的「越南統一佛教會」（UBCV）仍有兩名高層人士受到軟禁。統一佛教會稱禪師的參訪活動形同背叛，此舉象徵他願意和那些壓迫宗教人士的敵手合作。UBCV的發言人武文愛（Võ Văn Ái）表示：「我相信一行禪師的參訪受到河內政府操弄，越南方面試圖隱藏他們對統一佛教會的壓迫，製造宗教自由的假象。」[51]梅村網站則表明禪師於2007年的重返越南之行有三個目標：其一，支持僧團內的新成員；其二，籌辦「超渡法會」[52]、撫慰越戰遺留至今的傷痛；其三，帶領僧俗禪修。超渡法會又名「水陸法會」，越南官方對此表示反對，聲稱法會「一視同仁」地超渡南越和美國軍人，不成體統。經過妥協後，一行禪師同意將「超渡」易名為「安魂祈福」[53]。[51]
「相即」（interbeing），源於華嚴宗法藏法師《華嚴經金獅子章註》的十玄門，禪師引以解釋一切現象相融互攝，又用各種方式開示深義，[91]例如「沒有淤泥便無蓮花」(no mud no lotus)，解釋煩惱與覺悟、苦樂不二。又以「請呼喚我的真名」(Please call me by my true names)、「太陽即是我心」(the sun my heart)，帶出萬物空而無我，互相連繫，事事無礙。「掌心含無限」，意味一即多，多即一。「雲不會死」(a cloud never dies)，解釋無相解脫門，和不生不滅之中觀思想。「有還是無，並非正確的問題」(to be or not to be, that is not the question)，總括《迦旃延經》之正見。[92] 左右手的故事，講述無分別智。用相對論、戴維·玻姆的顯序與隱序，解釋二諦、理事無礙。河流的故事，帶出「無願」解脫門。梅村的第三法印，是諦相即、時相即 (諦時相即)。[93]

Mahayana Buddhism has a very open view, not restricted, and it is wonderful to study original Buddhism with that kind of spirit. When you use Mahayana eyes in order to inquire into original Buddhism, you can discover so many things, much deeper things. You realize that all the great teachings of Mahayana can be found in the original teaching. The great ideas of Mahayana are already there. The seeds are already there in original Buddhism.
