- Joseph Goldstein talks about working with and opening to fear as he pinpoints the three types of deeply conditioned fears that keep us from recognizing our own Buddha nature.
“What happens as proceed along this journey of practice is that we come to our edges, we come up to our boundaries of what is acceptable; what is acceptable in terms of physical sensation, what is acceptable in terms of mind states or feelings or emotions. And those are our boundaries at which fears in the mind begin to reveal themselves. Can we go beyond these boundaries? Can we go beyond the edges? Is there a way of working with fear and understanding it so that it is no longer a limitation for us?” - Joseph Goldstein
In this episode, Joseph explores:
- How the practice of Dharma is a path of opening, but fear is often something that closes us down
- How fear is a manifestation of aversion
- The three types of deeply conditioned fears that keep us closed down: fear of pain, fear of insecurity, and fear of death
- How we can work directly with the mind state of fear through loving acceptance and discriminating wisdom
“So we learn how to open, we learn to come to our boundaries, our edges, our limitations; we see the fear that may be operating there, and we learn to work with the fear, we include the fear in our practice.” - Joseph Goldstein

My life improved drastically when I discovered recorded lessons by Joseph Goldstein. His tone, humor, clear and simple teachings and light inspire me and help me learn more easily. Nothing and no one could have taught me the subject of mindfulness better. Thank you Joseph for all your gifts and wisdom. Hope to be in one of your retreats one day soon
thank you to Joseph Goldstein for the gift of the dhamma and to the team uploading these wonderful teachings
Brilliant, love the tone of Joseph’s voice
Thank you Joseph for giving us the knowledge of the Buddha. I love the logic behind these teachings - they really are extremely profound and just absolutely timeless. I wish that all beings could be exposed to and understand the wisdom behind these concepts. Much love for you Joseph.

Except that pain is real! It’s our Body’s way of something is wrong! I thought I got it but maybe I didn’t!
That's true, pain is real, but like Joseph said, it's also inevitable. However, with a meditative attitude (softening & opening) incidents of pain such as injuries allow the opportunity to explore the psychological suffering and fear that come along with these inevitable physical sensations, which are much more workable and can be transformed.
It's like having my very own wise, Jewish friend. Thanks!
