- The art of listening and how it brings us into the present moment
- How taking a “sacred pause” leads to more possibilities
- The childlike playfulness and joy between His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu
- Jack tells a transformational and moving story of Dr. Yeshi Dhonden, the miraculous Tibetan physician.
- How all the problems and conflicts of the world are symptoms, and the solution is in the human heart
- Activism, service, and helping with an open heart
- Listening deeply to sense the universal truths of reality
- The powerful prayer of Black Elk, the mystical Lakota medicine man

Listening inwardly, tending the heart, and honing your intuition
“The very difficulties you have are the place that truly awakens the heart.” – Jack Kornfield

“Quiet the mind, take time, tend the heart, listen inwardly, listen to one another, listen to the earth—and you will know what to do.” – Jack Kornfield

Gaza😢 is a great example of the many living in a state of collective delusion. It is the worst situation I have ever witnessed in my life time. The US blatantly complicit in the continuous horrific assault on little children. May I be a invisible and impenetrable shield from the bombs. May I be the key and the opened door to escape. May I be the ship of food and water and medicine and an endless supply of love that sails away from the hell and part of the solution that let’s them return to their home when it’s safe. Gaza I love you from a far away place and I keep praying and speaking for you. I’m doing all that I can as are many others. I know you feel forsaken but you are not. 💔😞🇵🇸🍉⭐️😴
