Just One Question | Thích Nhất Hạnh: What Is the Root Cause of Our Social Problems?

from Sounds True: Insights at the Edge

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.This episode is sponsored by Omega Institute, a global gathering hub for lifelong learning and spiritual exploration.
