Joseph Goldstein on Pain and Trust – Insight Hour Ep. 136

In this episode of the Insight Hour Podcast, Joseph Goldstein explores how to understand pain, how to relate to it, and how to use it, plus he talks about the quality of trust and learning to trust the moment’s experience. This dharma talk from November 1982 was given at the Insight Meditation Meditation Retreat Center and was originally published on Dharma Seed. (00:00) - Pain is a Cover Word (13:20) - Working with Pain (32:55) - Different Kinds of Trust “The first step in relating to pain skillfully is to take a very direct look at what pain is. Pain is a cover word; it’s a word, it’s a concept that we use to describe certain experiences. Very often, the mind gets frightened simply by the concept. Even if we have a vague impression of something and we label it ‘pain,’ just seeing the word in our mind is enough to cause us to try to avoid it. So we have to go underneath that concept, underneath that word ‘pain’ to see actually what it is. What’s the experience that’s going on?” – Joseph Goldstein ================ Joseph Goldstein on Pain and Trust – Insight Hour Ep. 136 - https://youtu.be/ZFFg3lnAOXU Joseph Goldstein – Insight Hour – Ep. 136 – Pain and Trust - https://beherenownetwork.com/joseph-goldstein-insight-hour-ep-136-pain-and-trust ================ Make sure not to miss a single video podcast from Be Here Now Network!
