In the midst of global turmoil, spiritual wisdom shines a light on the possibility of peace. The discussion navigates the complexities of good and evil, rooted in human nature and echoed in world religions. Listeners are encouraged to cultivate inner peace through compassion, even during conflicts. Insights on Buddhist meditation reveal how maintaining a fresh perspective fosters community growth. The conversation also highlights the power of conflict resolution and the transformative impact of compassionate leaders in healing our communities.

Jack Kornfield inspires us with a dialogue on stillness, suffering, and how we can set intentions to help others.“We stop and try to sit quietly and it's like there is a layer of ice that needs to thaw before the water can even move inside.” Each year we watch birds come and go; we see stillness and then movement. Sometimes, we forget that humans too are a part of nature. Jack reads us a poem by Pablo Neruda about being still and making each moment exotic. The poem is an invitation to quiet the mind, be present, and live from our hearts. Jack empathizes with how difficult it can be to relish in the stillness of life.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp.
