<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Now in paperback, one of the leading Buddhist teachers in the West, author of the bestselling "A Path with Heart" and "Buddha's Little Instruction Book", addresses readers of every faith in this extraordinary exploration of the joys and challenges of the spiritual life.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"Enlightenment does exist," internationally renowned author and meditation master Jack Kornfield assures us. "Unbounded freedom and joy, oneness with the divine . . . these experiences are more common than you know, and not far away." <p/> But even after achieving such realization--after the ecstasy--we are faced with the day--to-day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry. <p/> Drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders and practitioners within the Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Sufi traditions, this book offers a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds--and how we can prepare our hearts for awakening. <p/> Through moving personal stories and traditional tales, we learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of family relationships, emotional pain, earning a living, sickness, loss, and death. <p/> Filled with "the laughter of the wise," alive with compassion, <i>After the Ecstasy, the Laundry</i> is a gift to anyone who is seeking peace, wholeness, and inner happiness. It is sure to take its place next to <i>A Path with Heart</i> as a spiritual classic for our time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A shining gift of wisdom."<b>--<i>New Age Journal</i></b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jack Kornfield</b> is an internationally renowned Buddhist teacher and meditation master, and a cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society and of Spirit Rock Center in Northern California.
