So Jack Kornfield, author promises in his new book.

My friend Jack Kornfield said Letty Church is not the only writer who is a Spirit Rock teacher. The work of Sylvia Boorstein, entitled â? ATI? ™ s easier than you? ? Think Spirit Rock is this teacher? ™ s â ????… Experience as Buddhist.â? ? The fact is that even if, as a writer Jack Kornfield is popular and well known, there are other Buddhist Spirit Rock teachers to write the books on the topic.

As someone who is not familiar with the Spirit Rock, the visitors came with the idea that the place is New Age. What I found was a place of meditation, Buddhism, its employees and ethics is warm and inviting. There is some-one? Membersâ? Spirit of the Rock, because he does not sign for a book? official?

The opportunity came with Jack Kornfield to talk to his speech because he was in the main hall of higher meditation retreat when I left. A weaker man than in the research, the author does not speak with him, you can see it easily, he had a piercing gaze and the knowledge to speak in preparation for this meeting, of which over 300 The room was just standing, with people in the hallway.

        When I was still a Buddhist monk in a monastery forest in Thailand thirty years ago I had to bow to learn. It was at first. Every time we funny in the meditation room, we were on knees fall three times, and respectful place our heads between our palms on the stone floor. It was a practice, respect and attention, a way to get a body to honor gesture of our commitment to the path of the monk of simplicity, compassion and awareness. We arc in the same way every time we took our rooms for training with the master.

        I once had in the monastery for a week or two, one of the senior monks took me aside for further instructions . In this monastery bow he does not need entering the meditation room and receive the teachings of the master, but if your address elders. “As the only Western and the desire to act correctly, I asked who were my seniors.” It is a tradition that all persons between the ages of coordination over time that the monks more than you are. were your elders, “” a m, said he took a moment to understand that everyone hears

        So I began to bend their time, it was very good .. – it was quite a few old wise and worthy in the community, but sometimes he felt ridiculous I met a monk from 2001, full of.. Pride, which was only there to his parents or contact you eat please better food than he at home, and I lost because he was ordered a week before me. Or I had to go through a sloppy old rice farmer who came Monastery are season before retirement plan for farmers who chewed the betel nut and durable, that he never meditated a day in his life. It was hard, these forest dwellers worship countrymen as if they were great champions.    Â

        However, I was there, bowed, and as I was opposed, I was looking for a way to look it works. Finally, as I have once again for a day ready to bow my “old” began, for something I value every person looking I saluted. I greeted the wrinkles around the eyes of a retired farmer, for all the difficulties he had seen, and was won by and. I bowed to the vitality and efficiency in the young monks, the incredible possibilities of the individual in their lives still needed before them.     Â

        I began to enjoy losing. I bowed my elders, I bowed went before entering the dining room and as I do. I lowered went to my cabin in the woods, and I’m too long before taking a bath was Ater a while I greet -.. inclined path was exactly what I did when they moved I am inclined to it.    Â

        It is the spirit of the arc that this book is the true task of spiritual life, not informed at remote locations or unusual conditions of the Consciousness: .. It is in this, he asks us in a friendly spirit all that makes life in front of us a heart of wisdom, respectful and caring greet we can both with the beauty of the latest, and Leiden, our complexities and confusions, fears. and injustices of the world. In honor of truth in this way, the path to freedom. To comply with what is more of an ideal is not necessarily easy, but how difficult it is one of the most useful and honorable practices.      Â

        To the fact of suffering in our lives and betrayal arc they accept, and this profound gesture, we discover that all life is possible, how to bend us. we discover that the heart more freedom and compassion that we think holds
