About this listen

When does enlightenment come? At the end of the spiritual journey? Or the beginning? In After the Ecstasy, the Laundry, Jack Kornfield - author of the modern classic on American Buddhism, A Path with Heart - brings into focus the truth about satori, the awakened state of consciousness, and enlightenment practices today. The result is this extraordinary look at the hard work we all must do - the laundry - no matter how often we experience ecstatic states of consciousness through meditation and other disciplines.

Sweeping in scope, and warmly told by one of American Buddhism's most trusted voices, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry is a work of both deep inspiration and daily instruction that cuts through the confusion about what enlightenment really is, who it comes to, and how it continues to inform and guide our spiritual lives.

An original audio adaptation of Jack Kornfield's book, After the Ecstasy, the Laundry.

Jack gives a true account of the beauty and journey of awakening while also giving the realities of life that will still await anyone who awakens. I very much appreciated Jack speaking about the ordinariness that still exists after awakening. Jack shares some beautiful stories and touches on teaching from many wisdom traditions

Brilliant!

I was put off slightly by the wonderfully calming tones of Jack's voice ~ some times it drifts into background sounds and makes me feel sleepy .. But.. I persisted and I'm so pleased I did! It was truly a wonderful gem of the dharma 💞~ it inspired me and came just at the time when I needed it the most. Thank you Jack Kornfield💞

Jack Kornfield excellently dissects many popular myths and delusions about what realisation is or isn't. By removing all that is false, he expertly points at truth without forcing us to see any more than is true for us. As such, the narrative is universal to truth seekers of any faith. Thank you for being such an amazing fast tracker of spiritual development!
