Just One Question | Thích Nhất Hạnh: What Is the Root Cause of Our Social Problems?
About this episode
Tami Simon interviews Thích Nhất Hạnh about the root cause of social problems and the importance of inner awakening.
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.
