Awakening Is Real: A Guide to the Deeper Dimensions of the Inner Journey
About this book
An Invitation to Explore the Deeper Dimensions of the Spiritual Journey It might happen suddenly, like a flash of lightning. Or gradually, like raindrops filling a jar. Our universal and awakened nature, the Buddha taught, can emerge in calm or in crisis. And then, as our path deepens, we must learn to embody our vision as we navigate the unexpected turns of the mystery. When we asked Jack Kornfield for the most helpful advanced teachings from his audio archives, he chose these eight essential sessions. With Awakening Is Real , here are just a few of the dimensions of the spiritual journey that you will explore in Into the Quiet Forest of Presence, Compassion, and Interconnectedness These sessions, while taught and recorded among advanced students, are anything but academic. Instead, you'll find here the playful, candid, and direct sharing of wisdom usually heard only by those fully committed to their life's evolution-an opportunity to discover within yourself what Jack Kornfield's own teacher Ajahn Chah called "the still, clear forest pool that sees the nature of all things."
