April 1, 2012. 67-minute dharma talk given at The American School in London by Thich Nhat Hanh. The sangha is on the UK and Ireland Tour and this is part three of the Educators’ Retreat: An Exploration of Mindful Education . The first few minutes the audio is bad but then improves.

Invest in every breath, every step to have more peace and more concentration. The three kinds of power can help you. First is the power to understand . The second power is love .

A video version may also available.
