In this signed copy of Bringing Home the Dharma celebrated author Jack Kornfield writes about finding inner peace and wisdom right where you are. His message: you don’t need to move to an ashram or monastery. Your life, just as it is, is the perfect place to be.

One of America’s most respected Buddhist teachers, Kornfield shares this and other key lessons gleaned from more than forty years of committed study and practice. Topics include cultivating loving-kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity; conscious parenting; spirituality and sexuality; the way of forgiveness; and committing ourselves to healing the suffering in the world. Bringing Home the Dharma includes simple meditation practices for awakening our buddha nature—our wise and understanding heart—amid the ups and downs of our ordinary daily lives.

Jack Kornfield trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India and Burma. He has taught meditation internationally since 1974 and is one of the key teachers to introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West.
