“In Chrysalis, there is a message, just as the caterpillars imagine themselves to the butterfly. Not only is it possible, but it is also possible, but with the heart, you can help shape it. It can make a difference.” – Jack Cornfield
In this episode, Jack is mindful of exploring: What brings joy to us in this life? The imaginary cells of the butterfly are truly different in the way that you can imagine mindfulness and awakening mind beings, and awakening minds, to help you imagine a beautiful world where your voice, joy, imagination, trust creates a being and difference, creating a being and difference, and imagine a new world where you imagine awakening mind sangha/satsang, community, and each other’s imagination. Howls Allen Ginsberg’s poem of the weight of hope for the world Big problems bringing our joy, love, kindness and compassion to the world: torment the power of suffering, and the power of protest, to bring fear, to the strength of joy, to embrace the strength of joy, to embrace the modern world, to embrace the question and response of joy about how to navigate love with love
“Trustrate that you make a difference and that each of us makes a difference.” – Jack Cornfield
“We are working on this together, and we can awaken together, and support the heart, our heart, and the beautiful world we can, that is within us as part of our imaginary cells.” – Jack Cornfield
This episode was recorded in 2017/07/2025 for Dharma Talk and Guided Meditation on Monday Nights.
