I do not consider myself a Buddhist but I have been practicing Vipassama meditation for about eight years and it has changed my life. I am far from perfect but little things rarely bother me anymore. I am very thankful for Jospeh Goldstein teachings ❤

This man’s teachings have changed my life. His clarity is unique.

rare to find such clarify in teachings that also make the practice more amenable

By far one of the best interviews I have watched. Seeking knowledge period

Thank you for replaying this conversation. As it felt good to relate to its explorations, I will probably and somehow retain the excellent personal introspection and mutual listening you shared.

thank you joseph for yr comprehensible explanation

Excellent video!

Great discussion that sounded like it was just starting to flow, but then...it cut off? Was there a part 2? Thanks for the convo w Joseph Goldstein!

It was cut off in order to remind and encourage the notion of 'non-attachment' amongst the viewers.

Where is the rest?

nonattachment in the realm of personal relations seems inhuman. I realize that nonattachment can prevent a lot of selfish behavior towards other people, which is a good thing. However, what about pity for others? Or is the best we can do is help the other people towards nonattachment through example?

@@deborahmabingani8279 So these are actions, when you say compassion? It is a way of being unselfish.

John Stewart actions, when coming from a place of compassion (which is a desire to ease another’s suffering because of the realization of our connectedness at a profound level) will be beneficial. To me, pity has an element of judgment. I suppose you can always potentially help people through being an example, but truly, as a Buddhist, for the most part, your focus needs to remain on your path, while acting compassionately towards all sentient beings. You cannot take right action in your own life or in your actions towards others, if you don’t have right view (wisdom). It’s a bit more nuanced than that, but that’s the best I can do right now 🙏🏻

Wrighty has changed so much! Ha

The problem with these two guys is that neither of them has an OUNCE of poetry in them, ugh
