Listen Later

Joseph Goldstein leans on his decades of study and practice of the Dharma to answer a diverse range of spiritual and existential questions from his students and online retreat attendees.

This dharma talk from May 14, 2023, was recorded at the Insight Meditation Society and originally published on Dharma Seed

In this Q&A style talk, Joseph answers an assortment of questions concerning:

  • The stages of enlightenment
  • Being mindful of positive and wholesome mind states
  • Realizing selflessness
  • Concepts, the nature of consciousness, and reality
  • Practicing mindfulness in modernity
  • Karma and reincarnation

"We think our lives are so complicated and so confused in the modern world, in the ancient world and - at any point in time, there are only these six things happening. It's a sight, its a sound, it's a taste, it's a sensation, it's something going on in our minds. So, I like to think of all life, and the unfolding of our lives, as a six piece chamber orchestra. It's just playing the music." - Joseph Goldstein
