Exploring the gifts hidden within our most difficult emotions, Jack Kornfield shares how anger, judgment, and despair can be transformed into compassion, courage, and selfless service. This week on Heart Wisdom, Jack Kornfield shares: *The path of selfless service *A meditation on kindness and loving awareness *Meeting anger without judgment or fear *The care and passion hidden beneath anger *Moving from despair toward imagination and possibility *Activism rooted in stillness, wellbeing, and love *Moral beauty and compassionate courage *Transforming judgment into tenderness and metta “Do you know why you’re so angry? Because you care. Because you care that much. And when you start to tune into the fact that you do care, that’s the fuel.” –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.
