This time on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein thoughtfully articulates: Bodhicitta: the heart-mind of awakening and working for the benefit of all beings Living in the world while still remembering the truth of non-self and impermanence The beauty of selflessness embodied through Dipa Ma’s life and teachings Regularly reflecting on impermanence as both a reality check and a spiritual practice The nature of the mind as intrinsically empty and naturally radiant Coming out of our mind-drama and entering into the empty luminosity of the present moment Compassionate responsiveness to the needs of others Forgiveness as one of the most profound ways to respond with open-hearted compassion This talk was originally published on Dharmaseed “This responsiveness is compassion, not as a meditative stance, but rather it is the responsiveness of an open heart, of an open mind. It can show itself, this compassionate responsiveness, in so many different ways. It can manifest very beautifully as forgiveness.” –Joseph Goldstein See Privacy Policy at and California Privacy Notice at .
