"Somehow we believe our concepts, that we'll be here forever, that our life is really going to go on and on. Or we believe our advertising, the idea from the culture that if you get 'this' you'll be able to hold onto it and it will make you happy. It's just not true. Happiness is a matter of the heart; not something we can grasp or hold." - Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:
- Knowledge, love, patience, and a spirit of constancy
- Being here now and living in mindfulness in the present moment
- Buddhism's Three Characteristics of Life
- - Anicca: impermanence
- - Anatta: non-self
- - Dukkha: stress/suffering
- True happiness as a matter of the heart
- How you can't stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf
- The original truth of self and freedom
This teaching is part of a 4-week long Yoga of Heartfulness online course featuring teachings from Ram Dass and friends. Learn more about this 10 hour course: Ram Dass' Yoga of Heartfulness

In my humble personal opinion, Jack Kornfield's Dharma Talks help me more without a long preamble. This is not meant to reflect poorly on the presenter at all. It's just that these new introductions are an unwelcome distraction. So much of the enchantment and healing of these heart wisdom talks is often simply the tone and timber of Jack's voice as much as the content. He's an amazing snake charmer. - Shalom

[@haywoodjablomi2890]

Curb your greed and ego enough to "inform" us at the end of the recording, when it might actually be relevant (as if....)

[@onegoodminute7248]

I agree, if people are going to subscribe to anything they will have listened to the entire episode. That way you catch the people that might buy something without upsetting all of us 😂😂
