“When we touch the square, we see that the great mind of Buddha brings natural compassion to go there. In this we see that a place of true peace is one of trust. – Jack Cornfield
In this episode, Jack explores with all his heart: The Prowased Heart: A Guided Sound Journey to A Awareness, Transcending Duality, Opening to the Expansion of Heart and Heart. Beyond Duality: Discover infinite consciousness like the sky. Weather in the heart: Looking at mood, joy, sadness, passing by like colour in the water, or changing weather. Enlightenment as a condemnation: The teaching of the third Zen Patriarch is that freedom can be seen in letting go of anxiety about imperfection. Discovering a life with equality: Guided practice to open up difficult emotions and equality and compassionate situations. Mantras and Sounds: Explore ommani padme hum, The Jewel and the Lotus, and Seed Mantra ah as gateways to the mind.
“Your mind is not limited to your head, but rather your consciousness, consciousness, spreads beyond your head, and becomes a boundless space, as if it is open like the sky.” – Jack Cornfield
