A gem of a book, easily carried with a person filled with vignettes on forgiving, reconciliation, compassion, love, and peace. A perfect little book for anyone interested in cultivating greater harmony within themselves and with the world around us.
Excellent insights and some great quotes throughout, some by Kornfield himself and many from others. He provides a simple approach to enrich your spiritual life.

Textes intéressants, mais pas si révolutionnaires. Facile à lire, pour compléter ses connaissances, mais pas de quoi changer une vie.
