Jack Kornfield on Expansion and Contraction - Heart Wisdom Ep. 186

Jack returns with a cosmic Dharma Talk exploring expansion and contraction in relation to impermanence as the root of spiritual practice.
"The law of change is the brown rice and vegetables of spiritual practice, it's the root of our direct experience of life." - Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack takes us on a cosmic journey through:
- The basic fundamentals of Dharma teachings on how to live wisely in our practice
- A trippy interstellar perspective flip through a simple intergalactic thought experiment
- Life-this capacity to be conscious and aware-as a process of expansion and contraction
- The law of change, impermanence, as the "brown rice and vegetables" of spiritual practice
- Spiritual practice as a way to find freedom and compassion within ourselves
- Learning to live in the present of how it is, rather than how we wish it would be
This Dharma Talk from Spirit Rock Meditation Center on 6/20/1994 was originally published on DharmaSeed.

Really did not wish to listen to the inauthentic intro. Have been so gratefulvto listen to Jack for years. Is Jack not in a health position to do his own wonderful intros.

[@martinevaneijk]

Wisdom in now, peace, rules,only enlightened activities not being, we are nothing.

[@samieramohamed2467]

Accept change , keep your composure. Do not accept change is suffering.

[@connieace16]

The introduction almost makes me want to quit. What a terrible start of a wonderful talk.

[@handbanana5396]

x1000!!! Please make it go away

[@Duane-tl2zc]

Why?

[@connieace16]

It's like listening to a commercial. Somebody who tries to sell me something. Or rather, shove it down my throat. Such a worked op way of talking. All the while I'm just longing to hear the calm voice of Jack Kornfield.

[@Cynlynne-fh3nb]

The intro does not seem to be a good fit for Jack’s wonderful, soothing talks.
I just FF a few minutes.

[@waltelbow]

It's all part of IT

[@maxgalinier1505]

No need introduction.
It's really bad

[@EddieabcdefgHijklmn]

No need of introducing
