"There's a mysterious beauty that surrounds those individuals who live their lives as warriors, as men or women of knowledge." – Jack Kornfield In this episode, Jack mindfully illuminates: - How Buddha's factors of enlightenment (qualities of awakening) connect with Don Juan, Carlos Castaneda's infamous teacher and Yaqui shaman and sorcerer - Don Juan's wisdom of the 'Way of the Warrior' in relation to Buddhism - The qualities of living as a spiritual warrior: impeccability/wholeness, wise effort/energy, courage/investigation, controlled-folly (play/lightness), strength/concentration, and steadfastness/unshakeableness - Shamanism and cutting through our sense of separation into the root of consciousness - Finding inner-freedom by learning how to stop our internal dialogue "The basic difference between an ordinary person and a warrior is that a warrior takes everything as a challenge, while an ordinary person takes everything as a blessing or a curse." – Carlos Castaneda (Author of The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge) This talk from 12/31/1983 at Insight Meditation Society was originally published on DharmaSeed. ================ Don Juan Meets Buddha: Becoming a Spiritual Warrior with Jack Kornfield - Heart Wisdom Ep. 213 - https://youtu.be/gkJzS9T38G4 Jack Kornfield – Heart Wisdom – Ep. 213 – Don Juan Meets Buddha: Becoming a Spiritual Warrior - https://beherenownetwork.com/jack-kornfield-heart-wisdom-ep-213-don-juan-meets-buddha-becoming-a-spiritual-warrior ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
