Jack Kornfield Way Quotations

Since death will take us anyway, why live our life in fear? Why not die in our old ways and be free to live?

Indifference is a misguided way of defending ourselves.

The only way to live is by accepting each minute as an unrepeatable miracle.

Train your mind the same way you’d train a puppy: Be patient, be consistent, and have some fun along the way.

Everybody needs to take some time, in some way, to quiet themselves and really listen to their heart.

Equanimity arises when we accept the way things are.

The unawakened mind tends to make war against the way things are.

You have to accept the way things are before you can move on.

As we step out of the way new things are born.

It is not enough to know that love and forgiveness are possible. We have to find ways to bring them to life.

With mindfulness, we are learning to observe in a new way, with balance and a powerful disidentification.
