The story about the woman adopting the young man that killed her son. Brought me to tears. That's a miracle. Absolutely incredible

This man is nothing short of a blessing to our world. He is just so wise, so learned, so peaceful, and so enlightened.

Thank you Jack Kornfield for this powerful teaching along my path. This was hard but neccessary and exactly what needed to happen for my Self. NAMASTE 🙏

Such an incredibly peaceful soul. His voice just radiates so much warmth.

I needed so bad to hear this. Been crying all day, and this video really helped me calm down and regain some hope in myself and humanity. Thank you! 💖

jemohseni It's going to be fine....All is well if we let it be well. Jack Cornfield is an amazing, compassionate teacher. I've been to this talk dozens of times and it always brings something new and reminds me...forgiveness, and love and acceptance. These are the important things. I hope you are well.

This is absolutely amazing to me . I've been there in similar situation the video really helped

Jack Kornfield is such a genuine person. I feel comfortable listening to Jack. He comes across engaging and pleasant. I feel like he is explaining something profound, and yet he does it in away that is conversational and friendly. I don't feel like he is trying to "sell" me anything. We are all lucky to have teachers like Mr. Kornfield.

9 minutes in and i am already blown away. too much that resonates and comes together for me to unpack in one sitting. wow. thank you for posting this.

Thank you for making these practices accessible to us.

The compassion for self and other that this video teaches is so healing. Thank you for honoring the process that is forgiveness and for giving us permission, without judgment, to move through that process at our own pace.

Duncan Trussell brought me here :) Jack Kornfield is awesome.

Thank you for the 12 Principles of Forgiveness and the meditation...I did not realize how long of a process forgiveness can be. I am thankful for finding this video today to support my efforts to return me towards my peaceful self.

I have heard a lot throuhg the years - yet these words are the strongest. Thank you with all my heart.

Forgiveness is a really hard topic for me. I have to constantly remind myself that we forgive not because others deserve forgiveness, but because we deserve peace.

Imagine what sort of world it would be if everyone practised this stuff

In 1983 I went to the Vipassana center in Barre MA for 10 days meditation with S.N. Goenka. It was the most intense and incredible experience. On the first day there were hundreds of people participating. Within 2 days, I’ve noticed that there were fewer and fewer people. So many couldn’t handle being silent and meditate 11 hours daily. I was very proud of myself to be one of the people who completed the course. Peace and ❤to all being s.

At Self Realization Fellowship, Phoenix last month.15 min meditation before services...total silence, no coughing or fussing. We could feel the transformation.

although I'm not a huge fan of Buddhism, I like this man's gift of addressing the laws of nature. Grace is the lawlessness of purity. and true grace only exists in this universe through those whom understand love, hope, and faith.

12 Principles of the Process of Forgiveness 29:02 Meditation 46:50

I think what he offers is thoughts that we can remember when we need some loving support for ourselves in hard times when our heart is closed down, angry hurt, etc. Thanks Jack

Thank you for this wonderful teaching. Jack's teaching style touches my heart every time.

It's raining outside. Some days ago, in Buenos Aires, my bag was stolen. There is no hatred, but a feeling of giving up this path to the end of Patwgonia, one that has been three months to get here. Ah. Jack Kornfield.

And remember the most important person to forgive is oneself! It is also the hardest!

very beautiful and sweet message on the road to freedom... i have teaching Compassionate Communication (Nonviolent Communication NVC) in prison for the last 7 years and realize i need to include more on forgiveness...

He explained beautifully the importance of forgiveness. Thank you, Jack. I feel connected with your energy and your voice is magical.

The word "forgive" means to wipe the slate clean, to pardon, to cancel a debt. When we wrong someone, we seek their forgiveness in order for the relationship to be restored. Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. No one deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is an act of love, mercy, and grace. Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person, despite what they have done to you.

I could listen to Jack Kornfield, Thich Nhat Hanh all day. Eckhart Tolle is also a wonderful speaker. Thank you...

Thank you for sharing the wisdom of forgiveness is such a beautiful way!

Still listening to this guy ... he has so many generous offerings :) Thank you :) really like his way of delivering and his openess x

Such a beautiful teaching...it's a blessing

I’m only starting to understand Buddhism. It’s so peaceful. Thanks

Jack is a living treasure and puts false prophets like Marc Gafni, Andrew Cohen and Genpo Mercel to shame.

Thank you Jack...your stories changed my life

What a great teacher. Simply wonderful thank you for sharing!

So beautiful. I very much needed this, and I thank you.

Thank you Duncan Trussell

Thank you Mr Kornfield. Your dhamma teaching is uplifting.

Thank you so much. This brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you for guiding us from forgiveness to freedom.

amazing combination of intelligence and empathy

That was an unexpected and miraculous healing beginning and miracle thank you so much for this teaching ❤️

Such a beautiful teaching. I'm so grateful.

Thankyou Duncan Trussel :)

This is so helpful, very calming voice and i see the sense of forgiveness.

Listening to your teaching here in Australia

Gratitude to my first teacher of mindfulness and meditation.

Thanks jack, the cambodia story was profound, deep. made me think.

He teaches up the road from my home. I should really go more often ;)

Deeply moving and inspiring.

i love this guy

Gratitude, we will see it today and go deeper in the deepness of forgiveness and its liberation spirit, LOVE itself. OM SAI RAM... Wholehearted greetings from Shirdi Sai Baba Temple Frankfurt, Germany...Forgiveness is beyond religion, a quality of the HEART. OM SAI RAM...

A brilliant hartwarming talk with quotes well chosen.

Thanks for your wisdom

Absolutely mindblowing!

Wonderful!!! Thank you!!!

"It stops with me." Whoa...

Thank you so much for this lesson.

Thank you so much for this!!!

Sir great teacher you are, thank you.

I like him very much. Great thinkimg and clear delivery of message.

Powerful teaching!

Jack Kornfield has given us much wisdom; however, there is more. Meditation is great to quiet the mind during meditation, however, it has its limitations. Spinoza, a 17th-century philosopher, gives us a method to strengthen our mind and live in clarity and truth. The power of understanding thyself leads to freedom from childhood trauma, negative emotions and can become a new reality.

So beautiful, thank you

I suspect this blessed unique and generous human being has the outstanding talent that Jesus may have had but thankfully he doesn’t have to be immortalized crucified and institutionalized as Christ was Just a warm genius for handing down wisdom How extremely fortunate we are ❤❤

Many Buddhist practitioners, including Bernie Glassman and Vietnam veteran and monk Claude Anshin Thomas, have spent nights sleeping on the streets with the homeless...Thich Nhat Hanh is the most famous proponent of Engaged Buddhism, working to solve social problems in the world...and Kornfield himself was in Cambodia shortly after the Khmer Rouge's reign of terror. Adyashanti visits prisons. Eckhart Tolle sold his car and gave his house to a homeless person. This work is getting done.

thank you so much! Namaste

Such a good speech and great man explaining

Thank u so much!! 💕

I will think about that - thanks both.

The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.

I was feeling pretty angry this evening before watching this video.

Love and kindness feel safe gotcha

Struggling to apply this to ...when you're angry at someone but don't know why. Just find them very very annoying.

Forgiveness is not a logical thing to do--it asks us to wipe the slate clean for somebody's wrongdoing that cannot be undone. It is the ability to let the past be the past: to become one with the present so that we may continue to build upon where we stand right now. Sometimes that person we can't forgive is ourselves... when we cling to our mistakes we become lost in the memory--of something that was but still is. The past doesn't die, it becomes something else that we can still build upon in the present. Until we forgive we are lost. As for this man's words: I find them to be beautiful but I disagree with his world outlook. Saying that we are not our bodies or to believe in reincarnation is to no embrace our reality--it is to the truth of what we experience. As the philosopher NIetzsche would say, paraphrased: it is a hatred of life to try to escape from it. That is all. I care deeply about people and I want to embrace my reality for all that it is--without denying the truth of our lives, of our humanity. If you find me to be genuine bring me your knowledge and experience so that we may grow.

Jack Kornfield tells a story about two monks where one of them had been imprisoned several years by the Chines regim. It went something like this: "After years and years in prison, have you been able to forgive the ones who kept you imprisoned?" "No" answer the other monk where the first monks says "Well then they still have you in captivity".

I wonder would he be willing to take this message into the inner cities where the need for forgiveness and love is so desperately needed in order to set people free from their painful ways of thinking and seeing life.

You don't create an identity out of your personal history, your psychology (conditioned, programmed thoughts), or you just become aware of a lack of forgiveness and remain aware of it until you realise you're not the thoughts and emotions, but the consciousness that sees every thought and emotion and physical sensation. The easy way is to realise every thought is not true, but only a thought (same for emotions, etc.) How can you take that seriously then. You're free!

A good talk x

I enjoyed this video and gave it a thumbs up as well as shared on social media. My problem with this video is... A fully-fed man cannot tell a hungry man not to cry of hunger. He is on an exalted state of mind. That is why he can afford the luxury to preach forgiveness. Don't you think people who have had it rough "got that" they would forgive naturally? Buddhism after all is masochistic. It harps meditation as a virtue and waxes paean to discipline and dhamma. Heck those 115 people disliked it, even THEY have a point. Even they have a dhamma. Too much spirituality is actually toxic. Just frikkin live life and love life a little. Jesus.
