"This talk on the way the Buddha answered questions is not to give you another talk on Buddhist history, but to connect us with the ancient timeless endeavor of practice, of awakening, and the ways human beings over many centuries have worked with the development of their understanding." - Jack Kornfield
In this illuminating episode, Jack highlights:
- How the way Buddha answered questions is relevant to living in our modern times
- Buddha's ancient sutras, talks, and Q&As, and how those teachings have touched the world
- Buddha's vision of mind and ability to understand the psyche, how it gets entangled, and how we can become free
- The "one taste" of Dharma and our capacity for inner-freedom
- Illuminating the reality of non-self
- How the teachings of the Dharma turn the mind back to one's own personal experience
- The radical way of seeing the world through a lens that is not, "I, me, mine."
- How to live fully whether we have one life or many lives to live
- Buddha's view of the "world on fire" and how to work with this in our daily lives
- How to work with contradictions along the spiritual path
- Continuity and carrying our practice and presence into the day in an enjoyable way
"The essence of Dharma is how we love moment to moment." - Jack Kornfield

Alan Watts claimed nothing the Buddha said was ever written down or memorized and attribution ran wild.

[@vanessapetrea2490]

In this life, it’s all what we individually belief. So whatever you, or anyone, believes, that is true 😉🙏🏽💚🙏🏽

[@user-TimWill369]

Alan Watts had many years experience of religious education and was Zen personally, ahead of his time in a his time...

[@sethrw13]

In the since of timelesnesss, I think he was ahead (or with) any or all time. His ability to communicate the most intricate of feelings/experiences and abstract concepts with common language and through analogy of everyday events is truly superb. While he might not be seen as a prolific speaker or writer by convention, I don't know of anyone else who could communicate so extensively with clear, poetic-like pose

Buddhas teachings are not answers to your questions, rather they are questions to your assumptions...... Who is asking, what is asking?
