But what if we ask what happens after that? What happens when the Zen Master returns home to spouse and children? What happens when the Christian Mystic goes shopping? What is life like after the ecstasy? After many times of picking this book up for a while then putting it down for a while. I finally finished it. I honestly do not think I was ready for it when I first started reading it and should probabby reread the beginning at some time. At this time, the book was good for me and I not only was ready but needed it. I like how this book combines the beliefs and views of many religions and shows indirectly how similar they are. I feel I needed this book (and others like it) right now to help me become a better wife and mother and be better to myself. I don't know what I will do with this book at this time. Will keep an eye out for someone that I know will appreciate it. “Enlightenment does exist,” internationally renowned author and meditation master Jack Kornfield assures us. “Unbounded freedom and joy, oneness with the divine ... these experiences are more common than you know, and not far away.” But even after achieving such realization — after the ecstasy — we are faced with the day-to-day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry. Drawing on the experiences and insights of leaders and practitioners within the Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, and Sufi traditions, this book offers a uniquely intimate and honest understanding of how the modern spiritual journey unfolds — and how we can prepare our hearts for awakening. Through moving personal stories and traditional tales, we learn how the enlightened heart navigates the real world of family relationships, emotional pain, earning a living, sickness, loss, and death. > APRÈS L'EXTASE, LA LESSIVE, de Jack Kornfield. — « La plupart des épopées spirituelles s’achèvent sur l’illumination ou l’éveil. Mais que se passe-t-il ensuite ? Qu’advient-il lorsque le maître zen rentre chez lui et retrouve femme et enfants ? » Face à ces questionnements, l’auteur a mené une vaste enquête auprès de nombreux maîtres ou assimilés et instructeurs ou pseudo-instructeurs. Il s’est convaincu que la sagesse ne consiste pas à nier nos faiblesses, mais à les intégrer dans notre démarche. Il nous met également en garde contre la tentation et l’abus de pouvoir de certains soi-disant maîtres, le charisme n’étant pas obligatoirement synonyme de sagesse. Ed.

When does enlightenment come? At the end of the spiritual journey? Or the beginning? On After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, Jack Kornfield - author of the modern classic on American Buddhism, A Path with Heart - brings into focus the truth about satori, the awakened state of consciousness, and enlightenment practices today. "Perfect enlightenment" appears in many texts, Kornfield begins. But how is it viewed among Western teachers and practitioners? To find out, Kornfield talked to more than 100 Zen masters, rabbis, nuns, lamas, monks, and senior meditation students from all walks of life. The result is this extraordinary look at the hard work we all must do - the laundry - no matter how often we experience ecstatic states of consciousness through meditation and other disciplines. Sweeping in scope, and warmly told by one of American Buddhism's most trusted voices, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry is a work of both deep inspiration and daily instruction that cuts through the confusion about what enlightenment really is, who it comes to, and how it continues to inform and guide our spiritual lives. An original audio adaptation of Jack Kornfield's book, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry. Course objectives: Assess how to embrace the joys and sorrows of everyday life after experiencing a transcendent spiritual awakening - Integrate inner knowledge with outer expression and experience - Analyze how to embrace spiritual practice as an invitation to the truth - Plan to embrace our human feelings without judgment - Describe how to recognize the Buddha in each other and create community.
