  There isn't a person you couldn't learn to love

  Feb 28, 20253 minS0

  <p>I listened to a lot of Jack Kornfield’s talks. He’s one of the prominent figures that brought Buddhism and meditation to the West, and has written many books about mindfulness and spirituality that really guided me through my phase of intense Buddhist practice. </p><p>I really like how he talked about attention and mindfulness as “Loving Awareness.” That was a phrase I heard him use often.
