Book Description
At a time when Americas interest in Buddhism is at an all-time high, the need for clear, accessible instruction in its daily practice has never been greater. Jack Kornfield, whose modern classic A Path with Heart (over 200,000 copies in print) helped pave the way for American Buddhism, meets this need with Your Buddha Nature. In 12 absorbing sessions, Kornfield introduces listeners to Buddhisms most basic foundation for mindful living: the Ten Perfections. These perfections which include such universal virtues as truthfulness, simplicity, and lovingkindness offer immediate answers to the challenges we face each day of our lives. In simple language, Kornfield offers meditations and mindfulness techniques to help us open to the higher qualities already rooted deeply in our own hearts. Richly textured with ideas, poetry, and teaching parables, Your Buddha Nature invites all listeners to experience the truth of life, through one of Buddhisms original and most treasured practices. Jack Kornfield
