Summarising his core teachings, this Dharma talk, given by Thich Nhat Hanh to the residents at a correctional institution, shows how mindfulness practice cultivates freedom no matter where you are. Thich Nhat Hanh argues that freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. Included is a description by Sister Chan Khng of how Thich Nhat Hanh's visit influenced those that attended and encouraged their practice.
