Jack Kornfield – Heart Wisdom – Ep. 201 – Nature Of Dharma

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 This Dharma Talk from 12/05/1987 was originally published on DharmaSeed.
