This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein discusses:

  • The impersonal nature of experiencing peace
  • Seeing with consciousness rather than with the subjective mind
  • Reframing the language of experience with a passive voice
  • Being fully present in the moment without identification
  • Understanding death and dying  as the natural flow of impermanence
  • Having an easeful mind even when the body is afflicted
  • Understanding both relative and ultimate truth
  • The wonderful and joyful practice of generosity 

This episode was recorded at the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies and originally published on Dharmaseed

“We work to understand the dynamics of our conventional reality and all the challenges of it, even as we understand the essential selfless nature of it all. This is really the heart of a mature spiritual practice, the union of these two, not the separation." –Joseph Goldstein
