Be Free Where You Are (Thich Nhat Hanh)

Thich Nhat Hanh gives a summary of his main teachings in this Dharma talk to a group of prisoners, showing how mindfulness practice cultivates freedom no matter where you are.

"Freedom is not given to us by anyone, we have to cultivate it ourselves. You can practice freedom every moment of your daily life. Every step you take can help you reclaim your freedom. Every breath you take can help you develop and cultivate your freedom. When you eat, eat as a free person. When you walk, walk as a free person. When you breathe, breathe as a free person. This is possible anywhere." Thich Nhat Hanh.

"So many of us, inmates and outsiders alike, are in prisons of our own making...the miracle of mindfulness can free us all"...
