    Apr 15 2025

    Jack invites us to stop fighting what is and begin bowing to it—awakening the timeless wisdom and compassionate heart of a Buddha, right here and now, in the midst of our joys, sorrows, and the suffering of the world.

    This week on Heart Wisdom, Jack gives perspectives on:

    • Evaluating our spiritual practice
    • Joanna Macy and healing the environment
    • The rollercoaster ride of meditation
    • Awakening right here and right now
    • The transformative power of bowing to it all
    • The Buddhas of all the universes
    • Suffering and the truth of Nirvana, timeless delight
    • Facing the reality of the human realm—joy and sorrow, birth and death
    • Looking at the difficulties facing the planet today—war, famine, racism, greed, environmental concerns
    • Stop fighting what is true; the end of denial
    • Bowing to suffering, attachment, and change
    • Insight—seeing things just as they are

    "We awaken the wisdom and the great, compassionate heart of a Buddha right where we are. Where else could it be?" – Jack Kornfield

Like Mr. Rodgers for Adults

I am thankful for these recordings--there is lots of wisdom in Jack's words and stories. The messages he shares feel like reminders of universal truths, things we all knew/can know but often forget in the rush of everyday adult life. It helps that his way of speaking is also peaceful and uplifting.
