📚 After the Ecstasy, the Laundry by Jack Kornfield

Buddhist teacher Jack Kornfield published this book in 2000. It starts from the idea that awakening is real, but that afterwards comes the everyday work of living that freedom out in an imperfect life, which he calls 'the laundry'.

Key Themes

• Living spiritual freedom in everyday life
• Voices from Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Hindu and Sufi traditions
• How the modern spiritual journey really unfolds
• Preparing the heart for awakening

Sissoo recommends this because it is honest about spiritual life. It brings together the experiences of many teachers and practitioners, and shows that moments of insight and ordinary days belong together.

If you would like company on your own path, you can explore Spiritual Guidance or Meditation with Sissoo practitioners.
