Jack returns to explore the nature of Dharma as universal, immediate, timeless, beneficial, protective, and available to all.
"The Dharma is universal, it's immediate, it's open-handed, it's to be experienced by each person for themselves directly, it's timeless. The truth of life is here to be discovered for any individual with eyes open to see." – Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack mindfully navigates:
- Sufis introducing the Dance of Universal Peace to Jack's retreat of Buddhists
- Dharma as universal, immediate, timeless, beneficial, protective, and available to all
- The various meanings of 'Dharma': the teachings, the physical/emotional elements of the world, personal destiny/path, and Universal Laws/Truth
- How Joseph Goldstein accidentally found his teacher Munindraji while on the way to take LSD under the Bodhi Tree
- Karma, impermanence, duality, selflessness, attachment, metta (loving kindness), and the preciousness of life
- The Vipassana paradox of Tibetan Dream Yoga
"The Dharma protects those who follow it like a great umbrella in the rainy season." – Jack Kornfield
