In this episode, Joseph Goldstein mindfully explains:
The comprehensive nature of mindfulness practice
Going beyond the division of self and other
Insight from inference and inductive reasoning
Contemplating the feelings and mind-states of others
Being mindful of our reactions to other people’s positive and negative feelings
Keeping our lives in balance by not being overly self-absorbed
Contemplating both internal and external mindfulness so that we can see phenomena objectively
The impermanent nature of all feelings
Thoughts as the trigger for emotions to arise
Staying free in the flow of changing experience
The storytelling the mind does versus the Buddha’s instruction on bare knowledge
The mantra ‘it’s already here’ for awareness of bare knowing
“Contemplating externally not only keeps us in balance so we don’t have this total self-absorption, but we’re paying attention in some way, we’re enlarging the context of our practice. It also helps keep us attuned to how our actions are affecting others so we aren’t just lost in what we’re doing. We’re mindful of the feelings and mind states externally so we see, we’re attuned, we’re aware, in a mindful, non-reactive, non-judgmental way of these states as they arise in other people. We’re paying attention.” - Joseph Goldstein
