Publisher's summary

If you want to find inner peace and wisdom, you don't need to move to an ashram or monastery. Your life, just as it is, is the perfect place to be. Jack Kornfield, one of America's most respected Buddhist teachers, shares this and other key lessons gleaned from more than 40 years of committed study and practice. Topics include:

  • How to cultivate loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity
  • Conscious parenting
  • Spirituality and sexuality
  • The way of forgiveness
  • Committing ourselves to healing the suffering in the world

Bringing Home the Dharma includes simple meditation practices for awakening our buddha nature - our wise and understanding heart - amid the ups and downs of our ordinary daily lives.

Awesome Narration - Good Story

Comprehensive introduction to Buddhism, fun personal quips, and practical applications. The narrator was a pleasure to listen to. Well done.

Thorough and open

This is a lovely book that, through sharing his in-depth studying experience, Jack Kornfield explains so much about different teachers, different theories, and different take-aways from Theravada Buddhism. He explains the different types of Buddhism as well. It is Taylor es to the Westerner who wants to know much more about this loving philosophy. It is eloquently read.
