"Recorded live in New York City in 1995, Vietnamese Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh teaches us how to use mindful breathing and the awareness of what is refreshing and healing within us as a basis for examining the roots of social alienation, alcoholism, drug abuse, war and violence. He concludes with his vision for rebuilding society through strengthening our families and communities and through realizing the ultimate dimension of reality in each act of our daily lives."
