Responding to student questions, Joseph Goldstein invigorates listeners to have faith and confidence in dharma practice. This special group mentorship program recording was originally published on Dharmaseed This week on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein answers questions on: Mental noting throughout meditation Working with a greedy mind Dukkha and craving as the fundamental cause of suffering Small moments of renunciation The deepening of concentration over time and why practice is non-linear Keeping confidence in the dharma Doubt as the most problematic feeling within practice Dealing with shame, depression, unworthiness, and other painful mind-states Balancing self-knowing and deepening insight into non-self Fear of impermanence and attachment to things staying the same “What we’re practicing is to be free of attachment to the pleasant and aversion to the unpleasant. That’s the practice.” – Joseph Goldstein ================ Ask Joseph: Questions on Buddhism From Student To Teacher Joseph Goldstein – Insight Hour Ep. 203 - https://youtu.be/yFSqgFSxAkU Joseph Goldstein – Insight Hour – Ep. 203 – Ask Joseph: Questions From Student To Teacher - https://beherenownetwork.com/joseph-goldstein-insight-hour-ep-203-ask-joseph-questions-from-student-to-teacher ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
