Synopsis:
A vivid and frank account of spirituality, grounded in the author's own experience of the Theravada Buddhist path and of subsequently teaching the Buddha's way. In straightforward language Jacqui James explains what genuine spirituality means, and in the processs explodes many myths. There is a searching examination of Buddhism, asking: what is essential in the journey to enlightenment, and what is just tradition and folklore? The emphasis throughout is on how modern men and women can apply the essence of the Buddha's teachings. She shows how this can improve life beyond measure, how it leads onward towards enlightenment, and why this is the purpose of life.
This book is based on a collection of talks by the late Jacqui James, who founded the Aukana Trust and the associated House of Inner Tranquillity meditation centre with her husband Alan James. She taught in a very direct, no-nonsense style and was a popular meditation teacher.
"Our task in life is to become aware that there is no end point that we are supposed to be getting to - that experiencing what is happening in our lives right now is the purpose of life…Living contentedly with what one finds in the moment is nibbana." Jacqui James. |
