Product Description

Product Description
This exquisite book is a treasure of timeless wisdom from one of the most respected Buddhist teachers in the West. The book concentrates on personal peace of mind and on how we can help to bring justice and compassion to the world around us. Through striking quotations, concise teachings and memorable true stories organised into three sections, it explores the difficulties of opening our hearts to those who have hurt or betrayed us, and why it is essential to do so. Psychological stumbling blocks and confusions about the real meaning of forgiveness, love and peace are revealed, as well as the blessings and benefits of putting these three qualities into practice.

About the Author
Jack Kornfield was trained as a Buddhist monk in Thailand, Burma and India and has taught meditation worldwide since 1974. He is one of the key teachers to introduce Theravada Buddhist practice to the West, concentrating on bringing alive the great Eastern spiritual teachings for Western students. Kornfield also holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology. He is founding teacher of the Insight Meditation Society and the Spirit Rock Center and lives with his wife and daughter in northern California.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hmmmmmm not entirely convinced, 11 Dec 2008
By Foxylock (Ireland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This book is crammed with quotes from people such as Mother Teresa, W B Yeats, Thomas Merton and so on.Also included are some interesting meditations but does it promote forgiveness and peace? Well it encourages more thought on the subject and maybe points us in the right direction so if you buy into the whole peace and love thing then this book could be just what you've been searching for. But if you're bitter and twisted or a cynic like me, this might prove to be an irksome read. I leave you with this:

Consider the dialogue between two former prisoners of war:

"Have you forgiven your captors yet?"
"No never!"
"Well they still have you in prison, don't they?"
