The kingdom of the sun;: A short history of Peru,

You have within you unlimited capacities for love, for joy, for communion with life, and for unshakable freedomand here is how to awaken them. InThe Wise Heart, one of the leading spiritual teachers of our time offers the most accessible and illuminating guide to Buddhisms transformational psychology ever published in the West. Trained as a monk in Thailand, Burma, and India, Jack Kornfield experienced at first hand the life-changing power of Buddhist teachings: the emphasis on the nobility and sacredness of the human spirit, the fine-grained analysis of emotion and thought, the precise techniques for healing, training, and transforming the mind and heart. In contrast to the medical orientation of most Western psychology and psychiatry, here is a vision of radiant human dignity, and a practical path for realizing it in our own lives. The Wise Heartis the fruit of a lifes work that includes such classics asA Path with HeartandAfter the Ecstasy, the Laundry. Filled with stories from Kornfields Buddhist psychotherapy practice and portraits of remarkable teachers, it also includes a moving account of his own recovery from a violence-filled childhood. For meditators and mental health professionals, Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike,The Wise Heartoffers an extraordinary journey from the roots of consciousness to the highest expression of human possibility.
