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

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

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.  

"maybe gravity and love are just different forms of the same energy of things feeling connected to one another no matter how distant they appear to be."   This is the theme of the movie interstellar.

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.

Hi @Jack. I listen to this particular talk every couple of months for a refresher.  My brother is on hospice and I put this talk on early this morning.   He closes his eyes a lot and is focused on this process he is experiencing, breaking out of central jail, lol.  I’m a lucky one because I have the luxury and honor of coming to stay with him as he moves on to wherever he’s going.  We have two recliners we sit in, side by side, and I call it “the cock pit,” 🥰
My sister told me this morning that she and he attended a class w you at Naropa’s first summer in the 70s lol.  Being the youngest of 4, I was too young to go with them.  I wonder if you remember that summer.  It was a complete opening of a new door for my two sisters and my dear brother.  My brother came home and taught me as much as he remembered.

Imagine what sort of world it would be if everyone practised this stuff <3

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.  

A few quotes……
freedom to choose forgiveness, love, mercy.  
God help us to bear our sufferings.

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.

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.

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

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.

The freedom to choose your spirit

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 🙏

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! 💖

His sincerity and belief is obvious. He is so pleasant to listen to and a genuine gift to humanity.

I love this guy, I can relate to this..he speaks the truth!

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.

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.
