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.
