We talk to people from different parts of the world who are helping other people recover from unhealthy habits and addictions. We hear the different approaches and perspectives from programs in Bhutan, North Bengal, and San Francisco and we hear the story of a heroin addict who gets clean and earns her doctorate degree from Harvard.

sins and piety
are the simple sons
of a point of view,
the body softened
mission accomplished
everything perishes
desires fulfilled
death desists
filial attachment
is the final tie
it takes only a millisecond
for love to take root

-jaysi, 2008
