Text Quotes
When we struggle to change ourselves we, in fact, only continue the patterns of self-judgement and aggression. We keep the war against ourselves alive (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
It takes courage to grieve, to honor the pain we carry. We can grieve in tears or in meditative silence, in prayer or in song. In touching the pain of recent and long-held griefs, we come face to face with our genuine human vulnerability, with helplessness and hopelessness. These are the storm clouds of the heart (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
Beneath the sophistication of Buddhist psychology lies the simplicity of compassion. We can touch into this compassion whenever the mind is quiet, whenever we allow the heart to open (Jack Kornfield Quotes)

Expressing gratitude to our benefactors is a natural form of love. In fact, some people find loving kindness for themselves so hard, they begin their practice with a benefactor. This too is fine. The rule in loving kindness practice is to follow the way that most easily opens your heart (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
Refraining from false speech: speech from the heart. Undertake for one week not to gossip (positively or negatively) or speak about anyone you know who is not present with you (any third party) (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
When you rest in presence and pure awareness, sometimes everything is experienced as love because you’re connected with all that is, and love is simply the nature of being. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
We as human beings have the amazing capacity to be reborn at breakfast everyday and say, This is a new day. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
It is true that the heart has its seasons, just as a flower opens to the sunlight and closes to the night. We need to be respectful of those rhythms. But we can’t close down for long. It is our true nature to have an open heart. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
The awakened heart and mind can be experienced as clarity itself, pure knowing (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
Spiritual practice should not be confused with grim duty. It is the laughter of the Dalai Lama and the wonder born with every child. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
There is beauty to be found in the changing of the earth’s seasons, and an inner grace in honouring the cycles of life. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
Sense the blessings of the earth in the perfect arc of a ripe tangerine, the taste of warm, fresh bread, the circling flight of birds, the lavender color of the sky shining in a late afternoon rain puddle, the million times we pass other beings in our cars and shops and out among the trees without crashing, conflict, or harm. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
No one knows how this world came into being. It is a creation of consciousness itself. It’s extraordinary, a mystery. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
No amount of outer technology, no amount of computers and biotechnology and nanotechnology is going to stop the continuation of warfare and racism and environmental destruction. What’s called for on the Earth at this time is really a change of heart ... the question is really not the future of humanity, but the presence of eternity. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
Part of spiritual and emotional maturity is recognizing that it’s not like you’re going to try to fix yourself and become a different person. You remain the same person, but you become awakened. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)

(Jack Kornfield Quotes)
...Spiritual opening is not a withdrawal to some imagined realm or safe cave. It is not a pulling away, but a touching of all the experience of life with wisdom and with a heart of kindness, without any separation. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
In my experience, psychotherapy at its best is like dual meditation - it’s like a container in which you can be compassionate and mindful toward yourself. (Jack Kornfield Quotes)
