In this powerful new Dharma Talk touching on current events, an emotional Jack offers a heart of refuge amidst the world's conflicts.
"There's a liberation amidst birth and death, joy and sorrow, war and peace, that is beyond it all. This is the sacred openness of love and awareness itself.” – Jack Kornfield

- The terrors of the ongoing wars in Gaza, Ukraine, Darfur
- How constant news media effects our emotions and wellbeing
- Learning to live from the 'heart of refuge' which the Buddha offers
- What does it mean to be a refugee? How can we help create sanctuary?
- The importance of outsiders opening to the suffering of all humans rather than taking sides
- How the Buddha's mindful loving awareness overcomes Mara's aggression, greed, and doubt
- The ways we can open ourselves to forgiveness, compassion, community, safety, love, and trust
