In this powerful new Dharma Talk touching on current events, an emotional Jack offers a heart of refuge amidst the world's conflicts. "There's a liberation amidst birth and death, joy and sorrow, war and peace, that is beyond it all. This is the sacred openness of love and awareness itself.” – Jack Kornfield In this emotional episode, Jack touches into: - The terrors of the ongoing wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Darfur - How constant news media effects our emotions and wellbeing - Learning to live from the 'heart of refuge' which the Buddha offers - What does it mean to be a refugee? How can we help create sanctuary? - The importance of outsiders opening to the suffering of all humans rather than taking sides - How the Buddha's mindful loving awareness overcomes Mara's aggression, greed, and doubt - The ways we can open ourselves to forgiveness, compassion, community, safety, love, and trust This episode is from the Spirit Rock Meditation Center Monday Night Dharma Talk and Meditation on 10/23/2023.
