Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedJack is interviewed by Ocean Robbins to explore the big spiritual questions—why there is suffering, how to navigate duality, making the ordinary holy, and cultivating a loving witness. Discover Your Buddha Nature with Jack Kornfield , an online journey for reclaiming our dignity, compassion, and generosity, beginning June 2. “It’s important to not use spiritual practice to set up an ideal or judge yourself. Sometimes you need to shut down, and then you open again. So the spiritual path is really about being with both the calm ocean and the storm.” – Jack Kornfield In this episode, Jack and Ocean mindfully explore: What first got Jack into mindfulness and meditation Life as beautiful, and an ocean of tears Suffering, Buddhism, and the end of suffering Why is there suffering in the world? Navigating the reality of duality—form and emptiness, life and death The recycling nature of the universe How to make the ordinary holy Meeting our lives with presence A simple way to explain “The Witness” The magic of consciousness A calming and deep guided meditation Holding fear and grief in compassion Not getting caught in reactions and anger Acting the nobility of heart and your original dignity This episode was originally recorded for the Food Revolution Network in November of 2024. “Life is extraordinarily beautiful, and it’s an ocean of tears. You can’t have birth without death, you can’t have light without dark, you can’t have beginnings without endings. We live in a universe constructed of opposites. That’s just the game of form, of duality. You can’t have form without the emptiness from which it comes.” – Jack Kornfield About Ocean Robbins: Ocean Robbins is an American entrepreneur and author, best known for his role as the co-founder of Food Revolution Network, Inc.

For us as human beings, the question is not why or how. The Buddha didn’t actually answer those questions. He said those are questions that don’t tend to have understanding. He said, what I’m interested in is how to navigate the universe as it is, in a way that brings love, well-being, and freedom to all who want to awaken to this.” – Jack Kornfield See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .…

This week on Heart Wisdom, Jack leads listeners through: The true purpose of meditation and returning from the outer world to our inner selves Softening the body and releasing any physical and emotional tension Grounding ourselves as we sense the weight of our body being fully supported by the earth Receiving whatever thoughts and emotions arise during meditation with compassion and openness Noticing how the body breathes itself, relaxing into each breath, and inviting a sense of ease and trust Feeling the rise and fall of our bellies with each inhale and exhale Bowing inwardly to our life-sustaining breath and thanking it for keeping us alive Expanding the field of mindful loving awareness to the entire body, heart, and mind Finding the parts of our body that are storing buried difficulties Considering the energy of the mind and how occupied it is most of the time Welcoming a sense of peace and presence with a quieter mind and a tender heart Resting in ‘the awareness that notices’ and de-identifying with the breath and body "This is your life breath. It breathes you together with all living things. It breathes you with everyone in the room, the ocean of air in the trees. As if to make an inward bow, you can say thank you to your breath for keeping you alive so steadily." – Jack Kornfield This meditation was originally recorded for the InsightLA Sunday livestream on April 20, 2025. “Notice that you are not your breath and body. You are not your feelings and thoughts. But, who you are is the awareness that has been kindly witnessing. You are the loving awareness itself.” – Jack Kornfield About Jack Kornfield: Jack Kornfield trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India, and Burma, studying as a monk under the Buddhist master Ven.

Join Jack's Free New Course, Stand Up For Compassion: A Free Course and Resource for Navigating Uncertain Times . “You become the imaginal cells in these times. Things fall apart, but in you is the understanding that compassion is big enough to hold all of this, that the heart is big enough to hold all this, that the Dharma is big enough to shine through empires, changes, crisis, and beauty. That’s what we have—the Bodhisattva can carry on liberating beings from suffering, however long it takes.” – Jack Kornfield In this episode, Jack and Trudy mindfully explore: How you can pick all the flowers, but you can’t stop the spring Navigating fear politics and the cultural media machine Letting go of fear, blame, shame, and ending systemic division Using this time of “The Great Turning” as an opportunity to create a more loving world Ajahn Chah and living the truth of uncertainty How to face the big problems of the world with even bigger love Meeting the world through the Bodhisattva Vows How loving people and feeding people connects with enlightenment The path and practices of loving awareness and compassion Inclining the heart towards kindness and generosity How caterpillars change to butterflies through Imaginal Cells The world-changing power of true community Learning how to respond mindfully to any trigger or circumstance Becoming a make-weight of hope to tip the scales of humanity to love and balance The spiritual wisdom of Passover and Easter Letting go of tension and flowing into relaxation The Pagan Goddess of Dawn Community as the antidote for loneliness Crying, letting the tears come, and seeing what happens How to interact with people who are highly anxious or avoidant Saying hello to the people around you “Tears feel endless, bottomless, when they don’t have a chance to fall. When they get to fall, they fall and fall, but they stop because tears too are impermanent, they cannot fall forever. It’s really like this with all the intense emotions we are afraid will flood and drown us in some way.” – Trudy Goodman "What we're experiencing, Joanna Macy calls, The Great Turning. It's the breakdown of the exploitive late-stage capitalist model where we get as much as we can, and the harbinger of the possibility of interdependence. When it breaks down, that turning says, ‘We will use this time to turn this world into something better, to care for one another. The possibility starts with us." – Jack Kornfield This episode was originally recorded for the InsightLA Sunday livestream on April 20, 2025.

Is that really who you are? If you speak it out loud, 'I'm the victim,' it gets embarrassing because something in there can't say it very long.
