"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
