“How much respect do you give to those you disagree with? And what would they feel from you? Not that you have to have the same ideas, but is there that spirit of respect? Can you see the secret beauty behind their eyes? Can you see them all with a heart open even if you disagree?” – Jack Kornfield

In this episode, Jack mindfully explores:

• What the truth of interdependence means to tending a wise society
• How Buddha, Dharma, and meditation connect with politics and community
• A story of enlightenment about 'The Rabbi, the Abbot, and The Messiah'
• Quieting the mind, opening the heart, mutual respect, and listening deeply
• The compassion of Quan Yin, and the Dharma as medicine for the world
• Gracefully handling topics like cancer, abortion, women's rights, the prison system, and war
