Summary
In this clip from Insights at the Edge , Tami asks Thích Nhất Hạnh — revered Zen master, founder of Plum Village, and father of modern mindfulness — what lies beneath all of the world's suffering. His answer is both radical and surprisingly intimate: the root of social change is inner awakening, and it begins with you, right now. Recorded more than two decades ago; somehow more urgent today.
