"There's a strength of heart that comes when we don't just follow our habit. It's a strengthening of heart that brings a sense of wellbeing or purity. Because we begin to train ourselves that we don't have to follow all our habits and all our desires." – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:

Right Attitude / Right Thought as one of the steps on the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Path
The three aspects of Right Attitude: openness/exploration, renunciation/effort, love/non-harming
Working with our unique personality in this incarnation
The importance of adding fire to our spiritual practice
Breaking free from our automatic habits by bringing conscious awareness to them
Ram Dass and becoming a "connoisseur or your neurosis"
Transforming our life from automatic pilot to being fully conscious
The story of Larry Brilliant helping cure smallpox and what he learned about surrender and interconnectivity

"I think love really manifests when things get difficult. That's when you really know it. That's the fire that melts whatever barriers we ever have in our hearts. And our hearts want to be melted. The pain isn't so bad; it's much better than having it still solid and barricaded." – Jack Kornfield

Join Jack and friends live ONLINE from Maui Nov. 29 - Dec. 3 at the 3rd Annual Ram Dass Legacy Retreat in this 5-day virtual livestream event. Learn more and register here.
