In this insightful video, renowned mindfulness teachers Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach discuss the profound transformative impact of teaching mindfulness on the teacher themselves. As Kornfield poignantly states, "You become the very thing that you teach."
Through personal reflections and anecdotes, Kornfield and Brach explore how the act of teaching draws out inherent strengths and qualities, such as mindfulness, compassion, and the ability to hold space for others. They share how teaching has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of their lives, allowing them to witness the growth and transformation of hesitant individuals into confident and embodied teachers.
The discussion also delves into the personal impact of teaching mindfulness, as it shapes how the teachers navigate their own challenges and connect with the shared human experience of suffering. Brach shares a powerful story of using physical pain during a retreat as part of her practice, demonstrating the deep integration of mindfulness principles into daily life.
Ultimately, the video highlights the sense of belonging to something larger that arises through teaching, where the teacher becomes a conduit for universal wisdom. This connection to a greater purpose is described as one of the sweetest aspects of the teaching journey.
