Exploring the spiritual paradox of individual and universal responsibility, Jack helps us find balance between meditation and service in our daily lives.

In this episode of Heart Wisdom, Jack mindfully explores:
The paradox of individual and universal responsibility
What's the better spiritual practice—meditation or service?
What exactly is individual, and what is the universe?
Joanna Macy's painful yet healing trip to Chernobyl
Becoming stewards of each other, the earth, and the future
Distinguishing between freedom and it's near enemies
Near enemies as fostering separation; freedom as interdependence
How to respond to suffering authentically and helpfully
Creating change blossoming from the human heart
The radical act of "doing nothing and facing yourself"
Dealing with the homelessness problem, warfare, environmental destruction
Balancing "Don't just do something, sit there," and "Don't just sit there, there isn't time."
Choosing between inner practice and outward service
Following a true path with heart in this lifetime
Vimala Thakar, Ajahn Chah, and Maha Ghosananda as beacons of peace
The power of helping feed the hungry
Navigating the up and down, inner and outer, cycles of spiritual life
