More About This Book

Overview

Where can we find illumination and support when we most need it? “Inside each of us is an inner light that I call ‘The One Who Knows,’” writes Jack Kornfield. “Awakening to this wisdom can help us find our way through pain and suffering with courage, grace, and tenderness.” For anyone seeking answers during a time of trial or confusion, he now offers A Lamp in the Darkness, a new book-and-CD program filled with spiritual and psychological insights, hope-giving stories, and special guided meditations to skillfully navigate life’s inevitable storms. With deep understanding and compassionate warmth, Jack Kornfield illuminates a safe—and sane—pathway through difficulty, as we explore practices created for times of crisis but applicable and useful throughout our daily lives:
• Equanimity and Peace—how to hold the sorrows and struggles of our world and ourselves in balance while seeing the great peace behind it all
• Forgiveness—for releasing the past and breaking down barriers to all that is closed in the heart
• Setting Your Highest Intention—a guide for awakening to the shining beauty and potential of the human spiritHard times come to everyone. With A Lamp in the Darkness, we have a trusted guide and friend with whom we can face the road ahead in presence, love, and openness.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Kornfield (The Wise Heart) addresses the healing of suffering. A leader of the vipassana movement of American Buddhism and a popular author, Kornfield combines thoughtful commentary, moving anecdotes, and guided meditations and visualizations; the book and accompanying CD audio is described as a program providing “profound tools for doing the work of the soul.” The author writes that each individual has the inner wisdom (“the one who knows”) for healing if difficulties are faced directly: “Even the worst losses become workable over time.” This wise and compassionate book, developed from Kornfield’s talks, aims to help readers develop self-compassion, forgiveness, sacred attention, equanimity, and the ability to live according to their highest intentions. While based on Buddhist principles, it is written for a general audience, serving as a short, unintimidating introduction to a possible path for healing. The book’s strengths include its gentle reminder of the universality of deep suffering and the possibility of recovering joy. This work could have merited a more in-depth treatment; it disappoints only by its shortness. (Accompanying CD audio was not received by PW.) (Sept.)
