Jack Kornfield — How to Find Peace Amidst COVID-19, How
to Cultivate Calm in Chaos | Brought to you by
FreshBooks and 99designs.
"We have the opportunity, even in difficult times, to let
our spirit shine." — Jack Kornfield
Jack Kornfield (@JackKornfield) trained as a
Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India, and Burma,
shortly thereafter becoming one of the key teachers to introduce
Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West. He has taught
meditation internationally since 1974.
Jack has had a profound and direct impact on my life, and I'm
thrilled to have him on the podcast once again.
Jack co-founded the Insight Meditation Society in
Barre, Massachusetts, with fellow meditation teachers Sharon
Salzberg and Joseph Goldstein and the Spirit
Rock Center in Woodacre, California. He holds a Ph.D. in
clinical psychology and is a father,
husband, and activist.
Jack's books have been translated into 20 languages and sold more
than a million copies, including The Wise Heart, A Lamp
in the Darkness, A Path with Heart, After the Ecstasy,
the Laundry (one of my favorite book titles of all time),
and his most recent, No Time Like the Present: Finding
Freedom, Love, and Joy Right Where You Are. He offers a brilliant
online training program for those who want to learn to teach
meditation at JackKornfield.com.
This episode is more of a personal therapy session for yours
truly in some respects. You will notice that I sound anxious and
unsure in this interview, and that is very much by design. I
think it is unhelpful when people in the public eye hide the fact
that they also struggle, and it puts them on this illusory
pedestal that I think is ultimately self-defeating. Instead, I
want to share with you that no matter how much Stoic philosophy I
read, no matter how often I meditate, there are times when I
struggle, and this week is one of them.
I also hope that you'll listen to portions of this conversation
multiple times. There are a number of exercises that Jack shares
that I will certainly be listening to in the upcoming weeks.
Please enjoy.
