In Seeking the Heart of Wisdom Goldstein and Kornfield present the central teachings and practices of insight meditation in a clear and personal language. The path of insight meditation is a journey of understanding our bodies, our minds, and our lives, of seeing clearly the true nature of experience. The authors guide the reader in developing the openness and compassion that are at the heart of this spiritual practice. For those already treading the path, as well as those just starting out, this book will be a welcome companion along the way. Among the topics covered are:

   • The hindrances to meditation—ranging from doubt and fear to painful knees—and skillful means of overcoming them
   • How compassion can arise in response to the suffering we see in our own lives and in the world
   • How to integrate a life of responsible action and service with a meditative life based on nonattachment

Useful exercises are presented alongside the teachings to help readers deepen their understanding of the subjects.

Indeed, seeks the heart of wisdom.

January 23, 2015

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

This book is true to its title~ The authors truly seek the heart of wisdom by skillfully blending Buddhist teachings on insight meditation practice with conventional knowledge, without loosing authenticity. The book is extremely informative and instructive for beginners. For those who are attracted to this practice, but still are not convinced enough to actually sit and accept this practice ( looking for rationale), this book is very convincing through its highly eloquent, balanced, pragmatic, and wise voice... And if you are already practicing then this book further motivates you to work through various hindrances and stick to this practice. How I see it, anyone with an open and receptive heart will absorb the wisdom of the words here and be encouraged to develop and expand their own practice.

Helpful understanding of the hows and whys of meditation

January 26, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I love the simple and direct understanding the authors impart as to how to begin Vipassana, the core elements and components. This seems like a training manual, for those of us who cannot attend a training seminar. I really appreciate the deepening of my understanding in just the first few pages. Mindfulness has made a huge difference in the way I see m own life and how i work with clients in psychotherapy. I highly recommend this bok, and anything by Jack Kornfield.

Fantastic book. It's my second time through the book. Now that I've spent more time in meditation and mindfulness it means twice as much as the first read.

My Bible for Navigating Life's Challenges

June 1, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A book for novice and seasoned meditators alike. Both Goldstein and Kornfield contribute their expertise and experience with clear, concise instructions and exercises to guide students on The Path. The advice is sensible and reasonable, and I've read and later reread this book. In return, I have received hope and support for my life. This book has been my bible since the late 1990's.

A great book for me as a beginning meditator

September 7, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A great book for me as a beginning meditator. Almost a reference manual on meditation. Not "how to" but historical context and the "why" and "goals" of meditation. Answered questions that I have had about meditation. A book worth keeping for a reference tool.
