Joseph Goldstein is a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and the Barre Center for Buddhist Studies, both in Barre, Massachusetts. He is the author of Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Awakening, A Heart Full of Peace, One Dharma: The Emerging Western Buddhism, Insight Meditation and The Experience of Insight: A Simple and Direct Guide to Buddhist Meditation. Joseph has studied and practiced meditation since 1967 under the guidance of eminent teachers from India, Burma, and Tibet and he leads Insight Meditation retreats around the world.
In this episode we talk about:
- Why Joseph has become more comfortable talking about these concepts as he’s gotten older
- Why karma should not be seen as a deterministic principle that rules every aspect of our lives
- The connection between karma and past lives
- What he thinks about the concept of free will and how it relates to karma
- And why skeptics would do well to adopt a mindset characterized by the “willing suspension of disbelief”

👏🏽 thank you for your time thinking about questions and having thoughtful answers. Really enjoyed the subject matter.
-
I am so happy for this program. I am almost 80 also with a month difference - May 2nd. So we are preparing and thinking about all that after life etc... This would be a most enjoyable episode. Thank you Dan Harris and thank you Joseph!
-
Uff, around 4:21 I was sad for a moment. But I'm glad that Joseph wants to share his full scope, because nobody can explain Buddhism as well as he can.
-
So wonderful Joseph that you are going beyond acceptable norms… I have also experienced the non material yet very real aspect of consciousness … I feel that these experiences are confirmed.
-
Thank you to the wonderful Joseph, and to the skillful questioning of the host. May you both be well and happy 🙏🌿☘️

I love the concept of planting seeds as we move forward in life.
-
Great dialogue and questions! Dan Harris' questions were direct & thought-provoking. Goldstein's answers were equally direct & well-considered. I enjoyed the interview!
-
I wonder if Buddhism has language for codependency Being “kind” and “generous “ are lovely ideas. I seem to need to navigate these qualities, especially being female, with awareness of balancing these qualities in a healthy way Thank you Joseph
-
Wow! So excited for Joseph’s company! Thank you thank you thank you 📡🪶💗
-
Many, many thanks!

@31:15 ("toxically skeptical"). I can relate to that. I came to all this through "mindfunless" to help me with my mental health. I didn't realize it was vipassana/buddhism. I didn't know that it was talked about by peope like Eckhart or Mooji, et. al. If I'd known that, I would have never gotten into the simple practice of observing my thoughts (individuating the observer from the thinker). It was 5 years later that I heard someone say "yeah, this is what Eckhart talks about, but he comes at it like you already know what he's talking about." I watched one of his videos & had an epiphany to hear someone talk about my experience like they'd had it themselves. (But, very humbled to know that - if I'd found him first - I would have gotten hung up on the religious tones, the new-age stuff, which "tradition" is more accurate, which translation. I would have never gotten the simplicity of "you're not your thoughts. You can observe this for yourself."). It took 3-4 years before I got into buddhism. Again, the simplicity of "you're doing it to yourself" (the first 2 noble truths) would have not gotten through to me. I would have gotten hung up on all the unproveable "belief" in karma, rebirth, etc. The fundamental part of it (how the mind works) is 100% observable. I wouldn't have gotten that part.

Thank you, thank you , Dan and Joseph for such kindness in your exploration and sharing of these mystical concepts.
-
Such an interesting talk. Feel so lucky to be able to access this. Thank you both
-
An interesting way to look at is “we don’t have free will” we have feelings 😊😊
-
Thank you for this podcast - I just love when you have Joseph on! ❤❤❤
-
Joseph is the best, thanks for this

Actually, I've been taught that there is such a thing as collective karma, so climate change, or a result of climate change is a result of our collective karma. Wars are another example. Actions + conditions = results. It is all driven by our intention (motivation). Intention is the driver. When we have conscious intention of an action (of body, speech or mind) - positive or negative - it creates karma - positive or negative.
-
Thanks to you both for the insights. Wonderful discussion. 🙏🙏
-
Very thought provoking, thanks so much ~🌟

Loved this one so much! Thank you. ♥️
