The present moment is all there is. Until one gets to this point of understanding, one will forever be lost in the search of a nonexistent past or future.
@dennisbillings3418 Indeed. The moment an individual sees that this very moment is all there is, he awakens into eternity. He realizes instantly the illusory nature of time.
How much were you asked to pay? All that I had to endure was an abrasive and painful 5 second UA-cam ad. That was awful yet it was over soon enough. Maybe you are referring to Spirit Rock courses and such. I don't attend those. Too far to travel and too expensive as you noted. This virtual stuff can be a nice way to download some ancient knowledge for free imo.
If he didn’t charge anything, then they couldn’t have all that land and courses and retreats for people, he would have to find a regular 9-5 job, and probably wouldn’t even have the podcast. That’s hundreds of thousands of people who would miss out on all this free content then. Not to mention the charity work I’m sure they do.
I’ve been searching for an episode like this!!!!

"Until" and "forever" are both timebound concepts.🤣

Jack starts @ 5:00
Ajahn Jayasaro is the real deal. Wisdom, at no cost. Cornfield is delusion, at $10.000. Waste of time and money
Jack Kornfield joys of monastic life, charges exorbitant prices for the free teachings.
