Most accounts of spiritual enlightenment end at the moment of illumination. But what happens after that? What is life like after the ecstasy? How do we live our understanding with a full heart? In this unique mix of practical and spiritual wisdom Jack Kornfield, author of the bestselling A Path with Heart and one of the most respected Buddhist meditation teachers in the West, sets out to answer these crucial questions.

Drawing on discussions with abbots, lamas and Western meditation masters, Kornfield describes with refreshing honesty their different experiences of the moment of enlightenment and what lessons they - and we - can learn from these - as each of us seeks to fulfil the true path of compassion on earth.

Industry Reviews

"A shining gift of wisdom." - New Age Journal

"After the Ecstasy, the Laundry is not just another inspirational bestseller, it is a lasting record of concrete insights forged from the fires of dedicated practice." - Brian Bruya, Amazon

"Kornfield, who draws on interviews with nearly 100 practitioners and teachers from a wide variety of Eastern and Western traditions, is unusually successful at presenting a consistent picture of the unity of the spiritual endeavor. This is particularly welcome, as practice in the West can often seem confusing and fragmented." - Library Journal
