Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is some of the clearest, most grounded Buddhist-oriented teaching I have come across in a very long time."—Stephen Levine, author of A Gradual Awakening

"Toni shakes us out of the branches of our tree so we can see the root."—Charlotte Joko Beck, author of Everyday Zen

"This book is an essential corrective for the troubles of the world—many of which are discussed—and should be read by everyone."—Anne Bancroft, author of Weavers of Wisdom and Zen: Direct Pointing to Reality --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Product Description

In this compelling collection of talks, essays, interviews, and letters, Toni Packer presents a radically simple and original approach to spiritual growth free from religious authority, doctrine, symbolism, and ceremony. A former Zen teacher and student of Krishnamurti's work, Toni Packer goes beyond traditional religion and explores with the reader the root of human attachments and the source of suffering, opening the way to compassion. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not a book of answers, January 13, 2009

By	jfpessoa "jfpessoa" (Portugal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Work of This Moment (Paperback)

I feel there is a lot to be gained from reading this book - slowly, and then sometime later having a go at it again. However, it will probably be very off-putting in the extreme to people seeking answers, most especially "spiritual" answers. Toni Packer doesn't give any. The book is about listening and questioning. If a person is willing to start there, which for most of us means starting all over again, then I would say that it would be a wise purchase. If you want at the end of the book to close it, having found The Answer or Answers, it will be an unsatisfactory purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars something real in a universe of frauds, April 2, 1999

By A Customer

just thinking about "pushing your own barrow", like its only half, you need to be aware of how instrumental it is with others or you get slaughtered. Religious(or similar) groups seem to utilise this "self kneecapping" in ways that are quite destructive to individuals.....i guess this is illustrative.

well, i took a lot from the book, its slow reading, needs to be worked through, nothing is perfect, subtle flaws will be imbibed along with the sense, but that appears to be par for the course in this game, everyone has ten years to spare...
