In a world of 1000 sorrows and 1000 joys Jack Kornfield always brings love and light, peace and healing with his fantastic Podcasts. All the talks he’s given from Spirit rock. I go to sleep listening to him nearly every night and his wisdom is my guiding light.
I really enjoy the intro.
I’ve listened to this podcast for years, and now the intro is getting longer and longer. Was 5mins, and now it’s 10.
Jack's wisdom is undeniable and his presentation is always entertaining. The podcast was better before these protracted introductions which devolve into hero worship and summarize what I'm going to hear anyway, so my recommendation is you fast-forward 8 to 10 minutes in.
So lucky to hear these amazing teachings.
