"I think that we are afraid somehow that our own heart is not big enough to hold the tears and suffering of the world." – Jack Kornfield
In this fresh episode, Jack compassionately elucidates:
- How compassion is built into us and is absolutely natural
- Why the only side Jack is choosing is the side of peace
- Ajahn Chah's monastery as a zone of peace during wartime
- Opening our heart big enough to hold it all, connecting with the Mother of the world
- Pausing, living from our best intention, listening with an open heart, and mending what we can
- How when love meets suffering, it transforms into compassion
- Seeing the world through the eyes of compassion, and taking a stand for love
- How hatred never ceases by hatred, but by love alone is healed
- A powerful guided meditation practice in opening to the heart of compassion
- How not to get swallowed up by the collective suffering
- Turning off the news, stepping out of the war, and becoming a place of peace, compassion, and loving awareness
- Dealing with pain, death, regrets, and "what if's"
- Being vulnerable and opening communication with estranged relations
- Acting beneficially without attachment to the results of our actions
"It's not your job to fix the world or to stop all the wars. It's your job to do your part, to stand for what matters, to speak and act in a way that represents compassion and love for everyone, to plant seeds to mend the places that you can." – Jack Kornfield
"Love, when it meets suffering, changes to a different quality, which is compassion. It's that quivering of the heart when we feel in ourself other's struggles and difficulties. It's the resonance with them, and the natural upwelling of, 'How can I help?' – Jack Kornfield
