Episode Synopsis

Responding to student questions, Joseph Goldstein invigorates listeners to have faith and confidence in dharma practice.

This special group mentorship program recording was originally published on Dharmaseed

This week on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein answers questions on:

Mental noting throughout meditation
Working with a greedy mind
Dukkha and craving as the fundamental cause of suffering
Small moments of renunciation
The deepening of concentration over time and why practice is non-linear
Keeping confidence in the dharma
Doubt as the most problematic feeling within practice
Dealing with shame, depression, unworthiness, and other painful mind-states
Balancing self-knowing and deepening insight into non-self
Fear of impermanence and attachment to things staying the same
“We really just need to continue doing the practice and have that trust that the dharma will lead us onward, which it does. I’ve seen it in myself and I’ve seen it in thousands of yogis. I have a lot of confidence in that.” – Joseph Goldstein
