A Practical Guide on Finding Inner Peace | Jack Kornfield | Knowledge Project Podcast 156

[@bibipersaud9018]

OMG! The story about Shay! Now I know why my teacher Mr Elliot used to take me home for lunch daily! His wife would put a plate at the table and serve me. So embarrassed shy worthless. I was mortified, hid everywhere and cry cause I could not understand kindness compassion etc. Coming from an abusive home I guess he must have sensed how sad & unhappy I was. Different times!!!! I was 8 and literally walked 7 miles to school daily but dreaded going home. I'm 74 yrs old retired RN and thought of his kindness ever day. So grateful for the angels that we meet in our journey.

[@Danielle-l3y]

​@@Tinyteacher1111Bless you 🙏 I am 72 years old on Tuesday and I still am working with one of the 2 brothers with autism, that I have been working with for 20 years. The youngest of the 2 has been out of the house for 2 years now. He became too violent to keep at home anymore. His family and I have been bruised and bitten and battered for the whole time. But he got 6ft plus tall and with lots of weight behind him. We could no longer manage it or him. He even bit off a piece of his dad's ear... His mom calls the hospital everyday to see how he is doing. It gives us all a heavy heart that he can't be home. But that is where he needs to be. Try not to feel bad that he is gone and it's okay to feel relief that you don't have to be afraid and abused anymore. It's the best thing for everyone involved. My prayers are with you. 🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@SantaCruzHappy1]

What a fabulous interview! Jack Kornfield was my introduction to Buddhism back in 2003. Both he and Tara Brach are my favorite insight meditation teachers. I love the presence of both Shane and Jack.... THANK YOU!

[@Sparkle835]

I so appreciate the gentle, calm voice of the interviewer. He is the perfect pairing for main course Jack Kornfield.

[@marymannis1656]

This man intones authenticity - he comes from a place of human experience, not theory. The Crux of the matter is that true suffering does confer a visceral wisdom that is essential for self awareness - which also seems to be the key to understanding the other - the more I understand myself the more I see myself everywhere, in everyone, and in every facet of life, beyond all we previously understood, and collapsing the boundaries between our experience of The sacred, and the profane. Reflecting upon Life is hard - and holy.

I agree... We have access to people we may have never had the opportunity to learn from, without the onset of the Internet and all these platforms. I have always loved to read, but now I'm able to basically listen to anything my heart desires, while I'm doing other things! It's doubled if not tripled or even quadrupled... The knowledge, wisdom and teachings of so many gifted and wonderful people from all walks of life and all parts of this world, that I'm able to learn and grow from! It's truly amazing and a gift I am thankful for every single day! ❤️☺️🌻

[@user-rx4bi1ic4z]

I listen to many people, such as Jack, in many YT videos and, despite my reservations about YT, for various reasons, i am so very grateful that these teachers are brought to us by wonderful folks like Shane. These vids are free (ok...some adverts), beautiful, thought-provoking snapshots, and I'm amazed at how many of these wonderful people are on our wee planet. At our highest, we humans are nothing short of sublime (IMHO). If we can learn to work with our shadow sides we can be even better. Big hugs to all of you xx

[@om7854]

Somehow I realise that the seeds of what I need to know is there already in my life experience.... I've been waiting to hear this talk for so long & I heard its teaching many years ago but being young I didn't quite grasp its meaning. Now being much older every word spoken here means so much now. Being a 'mindful witness' is exactly what I need to be. And now 'practice & more practice' of loving compassion for others & self, & minding the watering of 'seeds'.

[@kellycolmey3742]

Many years ago, I did a spiritual, silent retreat with Jack Kornfield in Bari, Massachusetts, at the insight meditation center. It was wonderful.

Love how the universe always lets me find the information i need right at the moment. "Im afraid of suffering and want to run away from it" is exactly the thought i had the last days.

[@caliblue2]

The point comes after you say you will not bequeath bitterness to your children you understand there will come a time when they are faced with the same and the experience is shared. Children have to experience for themselves to totally believe. But sometimes (I speak from experience) one of the children begins to treat you as what they’ve been told and that causes big division and heartache. So even from the middle way I think it’s okay to teach values that manifest in their eventual understanding. They will see as the behavior will not desist just because the ex has moved on to a new partner. Time will tell and that’s really the only thing they will innerstand✌️🕊️💜

I have a lot of these kids in my ESL classes. Its always good to see them ALL again the following September! Life is short and very scary when you believe that the way you feel is caused by other people, and does NOT come from your own self! They don't understand how they themselves function, how their own minds work. Be sure to teach this and give them chances to express and feel the love and gentleness and tenderness they have in their own hearts. So many of them have been so traumatized by war and brutality that they have just never known how that feels for themselves.

I'm reminded of a poem by Rumi that goes: This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

There is so much to learn here and I love that there are experiences used throughout to illustrate the teachings. I agree with Jack about what you bring to the interview and had been feeling it before Jack commented on it. I think one way of accepting compliments without becoming flustered and self conscious is to acknowledge that it's a unique divine gift put in you.

[@Historian212]

There’s no “should” about meditation. It doesn’t work for every person; and there are different types of meditation. There are specific situations in which meditation can be harmful - something which isn’t discussed enough among meditation teachers. Many people who have true PTSD can do worse if they do certain mindfulness meditation techniques. This is well-documented, btw. Meditation is something to try; it may or may not be helpful. There’s no “should.”

[@lmansur1000]

One key that really helps to free ourselves is to realize that nothing is really personal to us - if you really really think about it. People behave towards us coming from their own dysfunction - so if we are able to embrace our own dysfunction that we picked up in life and work with it and heal it and realize that nothing is ever personal (which ego tends to make it so) then forgiveness becomes easier.

Shane , I am starting my podcast, and wondering if you would interview me. Love how you choose your questions. Thank you both for all you do for humanity. You are way showers

My dog is 15 years old and looks like 15 months old. She is eating 2x a day with 19 hours fasting. Never got a "human food ". It is really working:)

Blessings and good energy from a KZbin stranger in Texas that you have a full recovery and and also wonderful caregivers during your stay. Both of my senior parents were in the hospital and ICU for 7 week and a 5 week stay last year. I understand how hospital stays can be. Hope you are well enough to get home soon. ❤

I like to wish „difficult“ people „ALL THE BEST“! Which is not fake or insincere because „the best“ would be peace of mind, happiness, gratitude, openness….and that way they may find the path of harmony In themselves

I am at the very beginning of this video, and thank you for the forward about suffering because it lured me in, and it is wisdom of the ages, but I felt compelled to thank, dear, Mr. Kornfield for his brilliance and wisdom that has only added to my Searching for spiritual Enlightenment and peace while waiting for Godot! Bless you, dear Sir, and I will certainly be following you and your work, and I cannot thank you enough for how it will change my life. Even in the opening sentences about suffering, you nailed my sentiments exactly, and I struggled to articulate. I know suffering for 34 years, of my 50 years, and it has been one catastrophic illness after another, until I sought spiritual enlightenment and God, and I was healed and transformed, though my journey is not finished, at least I know there is hope through spiritual enlightenment, and it truly does work and heal you, mind, body, and soul.🥰🌟🎁🙏🥰💜

Bless you --and Universe of us all --for your opening words: speaking of Being with Suffering, wholly, Listening, Learning, allowing the Heart be cracked open more fully, rather than running in fear from the pain... in countless ways.... The essence of freeing ourSelves to be alive and well, being Well Being

I didn't know Thich Nhat Hahn died. I saw him at Deer Park Monastery in Escondido CA. That was a beautiful place. It closed during Covid and then I moved away. I miss that place. I have his books. It was a treat to see him in person
