"Abundance isn't about how much you have, but how much you appreciate." – Jack Kornfield
In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:
- How to let go of our greed and live in true abundance
- The Buddhist notion of "dana" – generosity, service, open-hearted caring
- Greed as a strategy of impoverishment, rejection, and incompleteness
- Transforming our 'endless wanting' into a beneficial awakened dance with the world
- Expressing the Tao, the harmony of the universe, through our being
- The Dharmic alchemy of the Bodhisattva
- Meditation, listening, and finding out what we truly want in this life
- Where Suzuki Roshi meets Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
- How abundance of the spirit connects with simplicity rather than things
- A personal story of Jack taking his unique Bodhisattva Vows in the Rocky Mountains while teaching at Chögyam Trungpa's Naropa University
- Taking your strong, grounded, noble seat that can handle it all
- How being there for others is abundance in their life
- The generosity and delight of authentically giving – things, space, silence, listening, attention, commitment, honesty, smiles, blessings
- Ram Dass and Maharajji's lesson of "feed people, love people."
- Is "selfless service" actually selfless?
"Abundance of the spirit doesn't mean things; it means discovering a kind of simplicity of our life where we're abundant in any circumstance." – Jack Kornfield
