Summary of Joseph Goldstein & Jack Kornfield's Seeking the Heart of Wisdom

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Insight meditation is the practice of seeing clearly our bodies, hearts, minds, and the world around us. It is the heart and essence of the Buddha’s teachings, and it can open us to see clearly and develop a wise and compassionate way of relating to and understanding our lives.

#2 The path of awakening begins with right understanding, which asks us to consider what we really value most in this life. We can look around us and see the suffering in the world, as well as our own. We can then ask ourselves what we value most deeply, and use that as the basis of our spiritual practice.

#3 The law of karma is the second pillar of understanding the world. It refers to the fact that what we do and how we act create our future experiences. We can train ourselves to be more loving and aware.

#4 What is meditation. It is a good question. There are hundreds of schools of meditation, which include prayer, reflection, devotion, visualization, and myriad ways to calm and focus the mind. Insight meditation is particularly directed towards bringing understanding to the mind and heart.
