This time on Heart Wisdom, Jack Kornfield shares:
  • Caring for aging parents with compassion
  • Transforming rage into compassionate action
  • Grieving without hardening the heart
  • Meeting illness and death with presence
  • Sangha as a refuge in difficult time

“We need each other. Sangha is the company of the wise. In these times we need to stand up for the truth and speak up together. That’s part of sangha—to be together in the innate dignity of humanity and say, ‘Yes, this is what matters.’” – Jack Kornfield
