 After The Ecstasy, The Laundry
by Jack Kornfield
The warm, authentic wisdom of the author who brought us the wonderful spiritual classic, A Path With Heart, brings us another gift to all who seek peace, wholeness and inner happiness. "Enlightenment does exist. Unbound 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, we are faced with the day to day task of translating that freedom into our imperfect lives. We are faced with the laundry. A beautiful companion to your spiritual path. Reviewed by Andrew Macklem-Cross.

 Awakening The Buddhist Heart
by Lama Surya Das
This is a book of stories to guide us down the path of integrative living. 'Authentic Prescence' is our guide. There are daily life guidelines for including Buddhist Wisdom in one's everyday life. There is a wonderful true story about Maharaji Neem Karoli Baba in India as well as parables, quotes and concrete dharma reflections. One section on 'Reconnecting toYour Own Truth' sets the ground for more authentic presence: Being natural, simple, letting go, staying open and recognizing our true feelings are all prescibed steps for a more rewarding day to day life. The stage is set for Surya Das's reflections when he tells us a Tibetan parable: 'Life runs out while we are preparing to live.' Reading this book is a good reminder that we really do want to give our best to this moment, right here, right now. For daily inspiration or more steps on the path, this book gives great inner support. Reviewed by Jacqueline Mandell.

 Buddhism Without Beliefs
by Stephen Batchelor
Freeing us from the notion of Buddhism as a religion, the author shows us how necessary the Buddha's teachings are in today's world. In this contemporary guide to awakening we are reminded that the Buddha did not claim to have had an experience that granted him privileged, esoteric knowledge of how the universe works. This book challenges us to bring into being a new way of life and clearly shows westerners how to move toward awakening realistically, knowing we may diverge from the path at times.
