#23 In this episode, Brother Phap Huu and Jo talk about the art of Thich Nhat Hanh, represented by his deeply meaningful calligraphies.

They consider their favourite ones and some of Thay's most popular work, as well as the process behind it, and its significance, context, words, and wisdom. They consider what's in each one...including tea! Brother Phap Huu ends the episode with this meditation on the body:
