This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein :

The variety of practice ways to strengthen concentration
Animals and questions on karma in the natural world
Free our minds from fear when nearing the end of our lives
Watching the mystery of life unfolding
The wholesome and unwholesome actions that determine our rebirth
Habitual karma and having a place of refuge from repeated practice
Humility and the understanding of selflessness
Cultivating relationships of equanimity
The ongoing discovery of the mind-body energy system
Sexual desire and the refinement of our sensations
Why neutrality is better than pleasure
The unhelpful ways that we relate to pain
How practice helps with boredom and restlessness
Keeping an effort to pay close attention
Using our precious lives very well

“Each of these practices not only addresses a particular conditioning of the mind, they all very much strengthen the power of concentration. It’s just to see how through many different doors we can enter the realm of understanding, taming the mind, coming to a place of stillness where we can really see the essential nature and come to freedom. There are many ways depending on temperament.” – Joseph Goldstein
