A guide to reconciling Buddhist spirituality with the American way of life addresses the challenges of spiritual living in the modern world and offers guidance for bringing a sense of the sacred to everyday experience. Unusual book that is open to Hinduism from the Buddhist point of view. Talks candidly about the harmful things that can happen to anyone seeking a spiritual path with a guide who is unscrupulous. Kornfield speaks about many naivete traits that doom a person to be destroyed by their manipulative "teacher". Not so valuable about the spiritual depths that one can enter and learn from as distinct from Catholicism's various mystical traditions. This book focuses more on what we Catholics call meditation techniques for the lower levels of prayer. Mystical knowledge of God is not the goal for Buddhism nor this book. For Catholicism, this is the whole direction of spiritual effort and energy. This book and the author focus on detaching from emotional states that can mar decisions and life directions. Understanding these tendencies that are individual to each of us is something valuable [in this book], including to all interested Roman Catholics. Librería 1. Estante 3. Clear, salient points. I appreciated the wisdom within this book. It is a beautiful snapshot in time of the author's philosophy and advice to himself and any who want it. > Dans tous ses livres, Jack Kornfield milite pour une intégration de la psychologie occidentale aux approches spirituelles, orientales. […] Dans son premier ouvrage traduit en français « Périls et promesses de la vie spirituelle », il montre, à l’aide d’exemples, combien l’approche spirituelle, orientale a besoin de s’enrichir de la psychologie moderne pour un occidental engagé dans une recherche spirituelle… --Alain Gourhant (Psychotherapie-integrative.com) > « Périls et promesses de la vie spirituelle », de Jack KORNFIELD (1998 - Ed. La Table Ronde - 431 p.) L’auteur partage son expérience de la quête de Vérité par ce livre très riche, décrivant en particulier comment il en vint à aborder une démarche de connaissance de soi globale, intégrant intellect, émotions et corps, après avoir inconsciemment "médité" dans le but de refouler toute émotion. Dans cet ouvrage, témoignant de son expérience de disciple puis d’enseignant, Jack Kornfield examine une à une, avec sagacité, les questions qui se posent à tout Occidental en recherche. Au travers d’anecdotes et d’exemples vécus, il contribue à dissiper beaucoup d’illusions et de malentendus. De plus, il explore le thème fondamental de la complémentarité entre voies orientales et les découvertes des différentes écoles de psychothérapie. Un livre concret, écrit avec grande clarté et simplicité, qui intéressera nombre de lecteurs. --Revue 3e millénaire, Printemps 1999 Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

"This important guidebook shows in detail and with great humor and insight the way to practice the Buddha's universal teachings here in the West. Jack Kornfield is a wonderful storyteller and a great teacher."--Thich Nhat Hanh "Jack is helping to pave the path for American Buddhism, bringing essential basics into our crazy modern lives. And the language he uses is as simple and as lovely as our breath."--Natalie Goldberg Perhaps the most important book yet written on meditation, the process of inner transformation, and the integration of spiritual practice into our American way of life, A Path with Heart brings alive one by one the challenges of spiritual living in the modern world. Written by a teacher, psychologist, and meditation master of international renown, this warm, inspiring, and expert book touches on a wide range of essential issues including many rarely addressed in spiritual books. From compassion, addiction, and psychological and emotional healing, to dealing with problems involving relationships and sexuality, to the creation of a Zen-like simplicity and balance in all facets of life, it speaks to the concerns of many modern spiritual seekers, both those beginning on the path and those with years of experience. A Path with Heart is filled with practical techniques, guided meditations, stories, koans, and other gems of wisdom that can help ease your journey through the world. The author's own profound--and sometimes humorous--experiences and gentle assistance will skillfully guide you through the obstacles and trials of spiritual and contemporary life to bring a clarity of perception and a sense of the sacred into your everyday experience. Reading this book will touch your heart and remind you of the promises inherent in meditation and in a life of the spirit: the blossoming of inner peace, wholeness, and understanding, and the achievement of a happiness that is not dependent on external conditions. Sure to be a classic, A Path with Heart shows us how we can bring our spirituality to flower every day of our lives. It is a wise and gentle guidebook for an odyssey into the soul that enables us to achieve a deeper, more satisfying life in the world. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
