This week on Insight Hour, Joseph Goldstein answers questions on: 

  • Mental noting throughout meditation
  • Working with a greedy mind
  • Dukkha and craving as the fundamental cause of suffering
  • Small moments of renunciation
  • The deepening of concentration over time and why practice is non-linear
  • Keeping confidence in the dharma
  • Doubt as the most problematic feeling within practice
  • Dealing with shame, depression, unworthiness, and other painful mind-states
  • Balancing self-knowing and deepening insight into non-self
  • Fear of impermanence and attachment to things staying the same

This special group mentorship program recording was originally published on Dharmaseed

“We really just need to continue doing the practice and have that trust that the dharma will lead us onward, which it does. I’ve seen it in myself and I’ve seen it in thousands of yogis. I have a lot of confidence in that.” – Joseph Goldstein
