Product Information
The rich harvest of an entire generation's spiritual work in the West,After the Ecstasy, the Laundryis one of the most authentic and convincing accounts ever written of the lifelong path of inner transformation. Written by a Buddhist teacher and meditation master of international renown, this moving and fascinating book also draws on the firsthand experiences of dedicated leaders and practitioners within the Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Sufi traditions. The result is a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds-and of how we can prepare our own hearts for awakening. "Enlightenment does exist," Jack Kornfield assures us. "Unbounded freedom and joy, oneness with the divine...these experiences are more common than you know, and not far away." But even after achieving such realization, we are faced with the day-to-day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry. The author's personal stories, vivid traditional tales, and the voices of many others who have traveled this path become our companions on the way. We learn to recognize the first stirrings of sacred longing, the gates that lead to spiritual opening, the immediacy of satori or grace. We also learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of difficult family or community relationships, emotional pain, struggles with earning a living, sickness, betrayal by those we have trusted-even death. Filled with "the laughter of the wise," alive with compassion,After the Ecstasy, the Laundryis a gift to anyone who is seeking peace, wholeness, and inner happiness. It is sure to take its place next toA Path with Heartas a spiritual classic for our time.Product Identifiers

ReviewsMost spiritual accounts end with illumination or enlightenment. But what if we ask what happens after that? What happens when the Zen master returns home to spouse and children? What happens when the Christian mystic goes shopping? What is life like after the ecstasy? --From the Introduction toAfter the Ecstasy, the Laundry "Jack Kornfield is a wonderful storyteller and a great teacher." --Thich Nhat Hanh "This is a beautiful book....Jack is helping to pave the path for American Buddhism. And the language he uses is as simple and as lovely as our breath." --Natalie Goldberg, author ofWriting Down the Bones "Jack Kornfield offers a friendly, warm, and eminently useful guide to the meditator's path, brimming with clarity. A Path with Heartis an ideal companion for anyone exploring the life of the spirit." --Daniel Goleman, author ofEmotional Intelligence "With an openhearted expertise rare in a Westerner, Jack offers a benevolent travelogue along the Way." --Stephen Levine, author ofA Year to Live "Humor, ordinary stories, exact advice for critical moments, huge learning of his discipline, and a happy heart--what a pleasant path into the depths." --James Hillman, author ofThe Force of Character
