“If life is like a dream, make it a beautiful one.” – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:

Radical wisdom from the 7 Verses of Atīśa – one of the greatest Buddhist sages
A moving story about the deep transformative power encased within committing an act of truth
The nature of timeless awareness and the witness
Exchanging “spiritual trading cards” with Ram Dass
Humor, listening, stillness, and spiritual perspective
Not being swayed by outer circumstance
Learning what really matters in this life
Living with an honest and compassionate heart
Emptiness and considering all phenomenon to be dreams
Not brooding over the faults of others
Noticing our inner waterfall of thoughts, feelings, sensations
Becoming medicine for others and the world
Looking through the eyes of mercy
Being grateful to everyone and everything
Always relying on joyful and peaceful mind and heart
Don’t expect a standing ovation for your spiritual work or service to the world

“Who you are is what matters most—and who you are is awareness having this amazing life journey.” – Jack Kornfield

“Let your life be a gesture of love.” – Jack Kornfield

This episode was originally recorded on 11/20/23 for the Spirit Rock Monday Night Dharma Talk and Meditation. To join Jack's next livestream, head to JackKornfield.com/events
