New Releases from Contemporary Spiritual Teachers

Best selling author, psychologist, meditation teacher and co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts and of the Spirit Rock Center in northern California, Jack Kornfield has just released a new book, The Wise Heart, a Guide to the Universal Teachings of Buddhist Psychology. Considered "the most accessible and illuminating guide to Buddhism's transformational psychology ever published in the West," The Wise Heart is sure to join After the Ecstasy, the Laundry and A Path with Heart as a modern day classic. Bantam (9780553803471) $28.00




And from A.H. Almaas, originator of the Diamond Approach, The Unfolding Now: Realizing Your True Nature through the Practice of Presence, a book about learning to live with open awareness. With chapters on "Freedom from the Filters of the Mind," "The Trap of Identification," and "Being without Mind," Almaas introduces a method of self-observation and contemplative exploration to help overcome the obstacles that keep us from being present.
