On a nature retreat shared with Pema Chödrön and Ajahn Sumedho, Jack Kornfield draws out three teachers' parallel readings of monastic life across the Vajrayana, Theravada, and Insight lineages. The conversation circles joy, solitude, the practical mechanics of long retreat, and what monastic discipline preserves that secular practice often loses.
