Summary

For Gregory Kramer, a longtime, esteemed teacher of insight meditation, the creator of Insight Dialogue (an interpersonal insight practice), every aspect of everyday life provides an opportunity to practice the Buddha's teachings

Many lay Buddhists struggle to carry the benefits of their studies and meditation practice into their twenty-first-century lives。 How might our daily experience of both life and the Buddha’s teachings shift if there were no separation between them? In A Whole-Life Path, Gregory Kramer invites us to see the noise, complexity, and challenges of today’s world as doorways to fully embodied Dhamma wisdom。 Drawing on decades of meditation, study, and teaching, he explores the essence of each factor of the Buddha’s Noble Eightfold Path。 He then looks at modern life with fresh eyes, calling out the myriad opportunities it offers to put all the Buddha’s teachings into practice—individually, relationally, and socially。 More than 50 experiential practices allow us to test his guidance—right here, right now。 Anywhere the Buddha’s teaching meets our unique life circumstances, our whole-life path is born anew。 With A Whole-Life Path as a starting point and touchstone, our lives and our spiritual path can become one。

I read this book twice。 The first time on my own。 The second time with a study group and inquiry questions, and the second time was much more fruitful。 If you are going to read it, I suggest the workbook or group reading to really grasp the teachings。

If you are a serious student of Buddhism, this book is quite a gem。 It's dense, not in the sense of being obtuse, but in the sense that when carefully read, each sentence contains a wealth of information。 It took me a long time to read it because of this。 I found the book to be very useful in understanding how to apply Buddhist principles to my every day life。 This is one of those books that I will keep reading and re-reading, knowing more and more info will sink into this old brain of mine。 I h If you are a serious student of Buddhism, this book is quite a gem。 It's dense, not in the sense of being obtuse, but in the sense that when carefully read, each sentence contains a wealth of information。 It took me a long time to read it because of this。 I found the book to be very useful in understanding how to apply Buddhist principles to my every day life。 This is one of those books that I will keep reading and re-reading, knowing more and more info will sink into this old brain of mine。 I highly recommend it to those who are serious about learning the Dharma。 。。。more
