Meditation is not a means of self-improvement. It is a way of discovering the truth and relating to it with compassion and honesty. Awaken to a richer spiritual life with The Inner Art of Meditation, a comprehensive six-CD study course about vipassana (or insight) meditation from Jack Kornfield. Of the two major schools of meditation, this is the one that teaches you the art of creating a foundation of awareness in your daily life. Zen monks draw from these same principles in their practice.
This is how to become fully mindful in your life—aware of your inseparability with all things and fully conscious that your actions in the moment create the patterns in your life. Distilled from a five-week workshop, this complete course offers more than seven hours of intensive, personal instruction from this respected meditation teacher and clinical psychologist.
Course objectives:

  • Identify the four "near-enemies."
  • Employ the "four foundations of mindfulness."
  • Specify the steps of the Eightfold Path.
  • Predict the "five difficult energies."
  • Summarize what the point of meditation is, and what the point isn't.

        This excellent production opens a door to the Buddhist path of vipassana, or insight meditation, as it is called in the Western world. Jack Kornfield's known to be a deep and gentle teacher and an honest man. These personal qualities, as well as his humor and accepting attitude, are all present to the listener in this recording, which was made during a five-week meditation class. After an introductory talk, Kornfield teaches the meditation techniques. There are long periods of silence as members of the class try the techniques. These are very interesting and inviting silences; the listener is aware of Kornfield's directing presence throughout and is moved to join the class in practice. The question-and-answer periods at the end of each session also draw the listener into the class. Listeners will want to hear this fine production again and again. L.R.S.
