"The invitation of spiritual life, of awareness or mindfulness—we could call it a sacred attention—is not to hurry up, fix, or make this human realm perfect or better. Nor is it to ignore it, but rather to awaken to what is each day as we meet it in our bodies, in our hearts, in our minds, in our family, in our community on this earth – to see it how it is, and to illuminate it with the heart, to illuminate it with our understanding and compassion, to find the basket of spirit that is here, and let that spirit shine in this human realm." – Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack dives into:
- An old African wisdom story of a shepherd, his cattle, a dark forest, a lover, and a magic basket
- Life, death, void, silence, and opening to the great mystery
- Perception, consciousness, and Buddha's wisdom that mind is the principle element of creation
- Listening, truth, timelessness, and The One Who Knows
- The balance and connection between spirit and form
- Rumi and the deep human longing to wed body and spirit
- Buddha and the teachings of compassion
- Breath, wholeness, and the eternal present

Ep. 170 – The Water of Dharma
22 december 2022 · 56 min
Traversing the receptive energy of water, Jack Kornfield details the power of fluidity, serenity, and gentleness. Lees meer
This lecture was originally uploaded on DharmaSeed.org
A spiritual journey is often quite gradual. It is not typical to one day wake up and have a deep relationship with God or become enlightened. That gradual deepening we feel as we tune into our practice is much like a body of water. We are open, receptive, and vast. The mystery of being is that we do not know our destiny or how our spiritual journey will form, but like water, we can yield to the mystery.
"Do you have the constancy to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving and present until the right action arises by itself?"

Today's podcast is sponsored by BetterHelp. Click to receive 10% off your first month with your own licensed professional therapist: betterhelp.com/heartwisdom
In a society that does not promote the truth among its citizens, government, or economy, we have to work hard on our individual honesty. Sometimes that may mean something quite surface-level. Jack says that there are levels of truth. We may see the truth of someone's personality, their job, and their costume. Or, we may see a deeper, soul level of truth. Meeting someone in their true spirit, from our true spirit, allows everyone to be fully seen.
"The truth really becomes married with compassion and our words then become a part of something that awakens not just ourselves but everybody else." – Jack Kornfield

“Because it’s the shaking of the foundation of all the ground that we stand on. Enlightenment, the teachings of birth and death, the earthquake says this is what wakes us from the dream of separateness and solidity. There’s something greater here in this human incarnation. Who are you really? Remember. You are consciousness itself born into this body. You are the witness to it all. And the earthquake reminds you of this.” – Jack Kornfield

Ep. 146 – Setting an Intention of the Heart
6 april 2022 · 50 min
Jack Kornfield inspires us with a dialogue on stillness, suffering, and how we can set intentions to help others. Lees meer
“We stop and try to sit quietly and it's like there is a layer of ice that needs to thaw before the water can even move inside.”
Each year we watch birds come and go; we see stillness and then movement. Sometimes, we forget that humans too are a part of nature. Jack reads us a poem by Pablo Neruda about being still and making each moment exotic. The poem is an invitation to quiet the mind, be present, and live from our hearts. Jack empathizes with how difficult it can be to relish in the stillness of life.
