Yes, but this isn't something invented by Thich Nhat Hanh. It's a standard Mahayana teaching, originating in Yogacara. Sunyata (emptiness) is from the other important Mahayana tradition, Madhyamaka.

In his book, he never quotes such sources, so it gives the impression that such is what the Buddha taught. And that is not right. He is teaching from a tradition that developed out from the Pali Dhamma.

Alaya-vijnana emerged out of the debates among Indian scholastics over this problem. Vasubandhu would be the key figure here.

Surpirsingly Thich's Alaya is the same as the one of the orthodox Theosophy; a doctrine strongly supported in Hinduism and Tibetan Mahayanism where rebirth is at the core of all this doctrines.

His teachings, as far as I can see, are mainstream East Asian "humanistic Buddhism" (人間佛教) with some of the terminology and presentation adapted for a global audience. He presents himself as a Zen master (at least in his best-sellers); so I went into Zen, with the Soto tradition. There they do not feel comfortable with Thich calling himself "Zenner". Zen, and Soto Zen, have an outstanding corpus of literature that do not leads you into anything about Tibetan Mahayanism. Also for "Zenners" rebirth is hold with extreme caution and as in some Theravada, we are taught never to rely in it for our practice. To drop all sort of "views". Maybe this is why I feel at home with the Pali Dhamma.
