Product Description

Review
'A warm, inspiring and, above all, practical book', Pride Magazine .'It's encouraging to find Westerners who've sufficiently assimilated the traditions of the East to be able to share them with others as Jack is doing. May such efforts further the peace of all beings.', His Holiness the Dalai Lama, .'This important guidebook shows in detail and with great humour and insight the way to practise the Buddha's universal teachings here in the West. Jack Kornfield is a wonderful storyteller and a great teacher.', Thich Nhat Hanh, .'Jack Kornfield is a remarkable and thoughtful teacher.', Sogyal Rinpoche,

5.0 out of 5 stars A Meditator's Bible, 27 Sep 2004
By S. Lionheart "sarah23000" (Whaley Bridge, High Peak, Uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was recommended to read this book many years ago but it took me a couple of years to really take notice and buy it. Then I regretted the long period of time without it! I use it regularly. There are sections on so many of the things that come up in a meditators practice - and I also have friends who find that they just look up the chapter headings and get the answers they need. Jack Kornfield is a very experienced meditator and teacher and there is a wealth of guidance and insight in this book. I tell my own students that they cannot do without it and they admit they keep in close at hand and take it on retreat with them. It applies whatever tradition you are in and there are accounts from Christians and Hindus and Buddhists and people who are just meditating and needing help. A superb book.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one book on Buddhism . . ., 3 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Path with a Heart: Guide Through the Perils and Promises of Spiritual Life (Audio Cassette)
. . . let it be "A Path With Heart!" With wise and skillful words, Jack Kornfield is a master of teaching Buddhist practices including insight meditation (known as vipassanna) to Western students for over 20 years. Being a former Buddhist monk with a PHD in psychology, as well as a husband and father, he is able to communicate the practice of Buddhism in everyday life in a way that makes sense to Western minds. Kornfield embraces the stuggles and hindrances that are common to the spiritual path as well as offering timely and useful meditations for awakening, opening the heart and clear and humorous insight into basic Buddhist principles such as the 5 precepts, the Buddhist view of self (or lack thereof) and karma. With open arms and a deep understanding of the Western psyche and it's tangles, Kornfield delivers a book that is a love song, a workout and a survival manual for anyone committed to the spiritual path.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing, 18 Oct 2005
This is one of the most readable, balanced and loving books on the trials, tribulations, pitfalls, joys and ecstacies of following a spiritual path. Although written from a Bhuddist perspective, the author is warmly inclusive of other traditions and religions, with the result that the principles are easily applied to any other spiritual tradition. I recommend this as essential reading to most of my healing clients!
