Publisher Description: "Enlightenment does exist," internationally renowned author and meditation master Jack Kornfield assures us. "Unbounded freedom and joy, oneness with the divine . . . these experiences are more common than you know, and not far away." <p/> But even after achieving such realization--after the ecstasy--we are faced with the day--to-day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry. <p/> Drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders and practitioners within the Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Sufi traditions, this book offers a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds--and how we can prepare our hearts for awakening. <p/> Through moving personal stories and traditional tales, we learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of family relationships, emotional pain, earning a living, sickness, loss, and death. <p/> Filled with "the laughter of the wise," alive with compassion, <i>After the Ecstasy, the Laundry</i> is a gift to anyone who is seeking peace, wholeness, and inner happiness. It is sure to take its place next to <i>A Path with Heart</i> as a spiritual classic for our time.
