"The spirit of the practice is a unification of the mind with the body and the heart, bringing them all together into one. In that unification, or collectedness, then it becomes possible, when the mind isn't wandering in fantasy of past or future, to see directly and clearly.” – Jack Kornfield

In this Dharma Talk, Jack mindfully illuminates:

  • Buddha's simple wisdom: "In the seen, there is only the seen. In the heard, there is only the heard. In the sensed, there is only the sensed. In the thought, there is only the thought."
  • Meeting our practice and the world with a directness and simplicity; bringing the mind, heart, and body into unity
  • Cultivating an "excruciatingly" precise awareness and paying careful attention so we can see our life process in a new way
  • The three-sided crystal of impermanence, unsatisfactoriness/insecurity, and selflessness
  • Suzuki Roshi and the blissful wisdom of simplicity


This Dharma Talk 9/29/1983 at the Insight Meditation Society was originally published on DharmaSeed.
