Jon Kabat-Zinn: Listening is an Act of Love

Love your insights and your sense of humor, which is rarely a part of talks like these. I'll search for more talks by you. Thanks.

I'm looking forward to the MBSR online course. And...I think Jon Kabat-Zinn is a nice dresser.

I don't understand the Budda's sentence that describes 45 years of teaching, at the beginning of the talk: "cling... grasp... self-identity". Can you kindly help me?

[@meriaaronwalker552]

Indeed!
