It explains Buddhism. It has a really simple easy to read guide. You don't have to be Buddhist to enjoy this book.

Kornfield offers an extremely complete and competent overview of all aspects of the practice. A 'must read' for anyone serious about their practice and intent on integrating it with their lives.

Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Every step that Jack Kornfield leads the reader through becomes the readers new and wonderful place that Karisnamurti meant when he said that "truth is a pathless land." With lovingkindness "A Path With Heart" leads to discovery of our own truth in that pathless land and it is a glorious thing to find your own truth can co-exist with all others who search for their truth. I have a worn paperback copy of this book which I often just pick up and open it to some random place and read and am uplifted and refresked and reminded that I live today and I live my truth and am ever greatful for this book of loveingkindness, peace and happiness. I did not hesitate one moment when I saw it was available to download and like a child I eagerly away my nook for Christmas so I can load it and many other of my favorite books that inspire me with the wisdome of the ages and take them with me when I travel or just go to a quite spot to read.

'A Path with Heart' gives a unique Buddhist perspective to heal ourselves emotionally and psychologically. It asks us to accept emotions fully, experience them at a deep level and then to release them. The path is not one of denial but of acceptance and also letting go. Jack Kornfield's words are filled with compassion and equanimity, which are two important facets of our spiritual journey filled with both perils and promises.

I liked this book because it keeps its focus on bringing the spiritual into our daily life. It is second in this regard only to the book An Encounter With A Prophet

I throughly enjoyed this book, Kornfield is easy to read and understand. He adds bits and pieces of humor, some stories about his life in the U.S. and Asia. He his an excellent teacher and guide into Buddhism. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in Buddhism or becoming a Buddhist.
