How to live fully whether we have one life or many lives to live Buddha's view of the "world on fire" and how to work with this in our daily lives How to work with contradictions along the spiritual path Continuity and carrying our practice and presence into the day in an enjoyable way "The essence of Dharma is how we love moment to moment." – Jack Kornfield This Dharma Talk from October 1983 at Insight Meditation Society was originally published on DharmaSeed.
