“I first began Buddhist practice at the age of 12, but have always had conflicts with the many teachers who insist on isolation, sexual abstinence, and what seems to be a general detachment from the way we live in the West -- not that I fully approve of our western way of living, just that this is where I am.
Jack Kornfield demonstrates that it is possible to be a good Buddhist in the Western world. His writing is clear, not occult; easy rather than pretentious; a genuine pleasure that leaves me up-lifted without feeling either patronised or like I have just eaten a saccharine-rich pap. And he has a great sense of humour!
The audio book, read by the author, is a treat.”
