    Kornfield I never listened to him considering him to be typical new age author from marin. I've given up that judgement thankfully. Now I see Jack as an authentic Buddhist teacher. he never hesitates while teaching. IMO that's because he not only is living this for many years..more like he is what he's teaching. that's rare these days.

      It's a beautiful quote, however the actual quote is hatred never ceases by hatred but by non-hatred. This is the ancient and eternal love. That's the actual quote from the Dhammapada. Love isn't mentioned in it. Still, nice saying.

      @@JasonGafar My version says "For hate is not conquered by hate; hate is conquered by love. This is a law eternal." That could just be a Westernization of the actual saying in the original Pali, as hatred/non hatred sounds far more Buddhist, and hate/love sounds far more Judeo-Christian.

    Jack Kornfield has given us much wisdom; however, there is more. Meditation is great to quiet the mind during meditation, however, it has its limitations. Spinoza, a 17th-century philosopher, gives us a method to strengthen our mind and live in clarity and truth. The power of understanding thyself leads to freedom from childhood trauma, negative emotions and can become a new reality.

    He said that this supreme court justice guy goes on 90% how he feels about something. He said that's humourous. More like terrifying. Our lives are in the hands of men (and women) with immense power who decide our fate based on how they feel about it at the time.

    I wonder if I could perform the loving kindness meditation for my torturer ... eventually look into his eyes and find a beautiful soul behind it... I'm not being sarcastic and/or ironic here... I'm dam serious. I've been practicing meditation and studying many diferent streams of budhism along the last years and still not found an answer for that. Cause we know that in some cases people doing something realy terrible they are not actually mentally , so to speak, disturbed but on the contrary, they believe they are doing something for the good and well being of their country, family, whatever. And in the same day someone can do something so terrible with another human being, they arrive at home at night and tenderly kiss their kids, wife and dog,,,like a nazi - or any other ideology and denomination at a concentration camp ... So I was thinking aloud while listening to Jack and decided to share this thought. Thanks if you feel like comenting. ( sorry the mistakes cause english is not my native language )

      I believe many Buddhist teachers would say that there are no guarantees of results of meditation. I have sat with teachers in North America and in temples in Asia, all with different actions, movements, tics, etc. All are teachers that are human, inseparable from the causes and conditions of their births and social context. Also, who knows what is happening there in that auditorium that is affecting the flow of words, and Kornfield's response, as they arise in that moment? All of these may indicate the aliveness of the teachings rather than a memorized, canned speech about a commodified cure-all, as many portray meditation.
