The Art of Forgiveness, Lovingkindness, and Peace

This is the book that helped me get through the last two years of my husband's life when I was his primary caregiver. It kept me calm and at peace, which I needed when watching him decline. I still use it daily, and I would highly recommend it to everyone who needs a reminder to be kind and stay calm in the face of life's challenges.

If I could give this 6 stars, I would.This book is filled with wonderful essays and quotes regarding Forgiveness, Lovingkindness and Peace. My copy, though I've only had it a few weeks, is already dog eared with passages that I've shared with others.If you or someone you know could use some help in the forgiveness department, this is the book for you. It would make a great gift for anyone.As a Roman Catholic, I could be tempted to stay only within the confines of The Church for my reading material. This book is filled with wonderful quotes from all kinds of belief systems. It is a jewel in the desert.It's not surprising that a book written soon after 9/11/01 still how power to move mountains.

I love this book. I’ve read it over and over. I just open it randomly now, read a few pages and feel inspired or have my mind opened. The short paragraphs and quotes make it easy to read a little or a lot at a time

A interesting read. It left me with a renewed sense of wonder. This is a refreshing reminder of the power of Forgiveness, Compassion and Peace.Definitely a take your time kind of read.

I bought the hardcover, which is small and perfect for my purse. I always see it, and it reminds me to do a meditation that speaks to a dilemma in my life. I just love Jack Kornfield's soft touch and deep wisdom.

When I first flipped through it, I thought there was not much to this book - not just because of al the empty space. I have read it several times by now and what I started to like most about this book is just picking it up, at any time, opening it to a random page and to read a few lines. The book might not seem profound, but like focusing on the breath, it has a grounding effect. Plenty of other books on the shelve to learn about Buddhism - this one shows, very simply, how to live Buddhism. Thanks Jack.

If I could give it 100 stars I would. I don't know if it's just that this book found me at just the right time...but I have been working on forgiveness deeply and this book was key to a breakthrough for me. So grateful. Thank you Jack Kornfield. I think I might see if he has any audio books because I would like to listen in my car to and from work. Also am going to see if this author does speaking engagements any where nearMassachusetts. Quite a pivotal book for me and I have read it all....

I originally bought this book about ten years ago when I first heard some of the passages being read aloud in my yoga class. I am not a religious person, but I am spiritual, and this book has become my go-to book when I need a little inspiration or a lift. Jack Kornfield is wise and comforting, and he includes quotes from a wide variety of sources. In this crazy world, it's good to have an "old friend" you can turn to over and over.

All troubles in this life of ours that pain us, arises somewhere within us because of a lack withing ourselves. This book will help you fill those blanks, stabilize your deep within and fulfill those lacks. The arisings and turbulence of life will exist but in less percentage and most importantly will not perturb you or trouble you as much. Be strong be at peace!

This is not a book!!If you are talking about blank pages, citation, a few phrases each....is ok.Probably the content is deep & good but a book is a different thing.Thank you anyway 🙏🙏

A gift to yourself. Read this book and pass it on 🙏🏻❤️

I try and read out of this book every morning and when I do, the words come out like magic and my mood is lifted in an instant. Very inspirational person and I will be very interested in reading all his other books .

A povely book filled with caring thoughts and positive wisdom
