ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
At a time when Americas interest in Buddhism is at an all-time high, the need for clear, accessible instruction in its daily practice has never been greater. Jack Kornfield, whose modern classic A Path with Heart (over 200,000 copies in print) helped pave the way for American Buddhism, meets this need with Your Buddha Nature. In 12 absorbing sessions, Kornfield introduces listeners to Buddhisms most basic foundation for mindful living: the Ten Perfections. These perfections which include such universal virtues as truthfulness, simplicity, and lovingkindness offer immediate answers to the challenges we face each day of our lives. In simple language, Kornfield offers meditations and mindfulness techniques to help us open to the higher qualities already rooted deeply in our own hearts. Richly textured with ideas, poetry, and teaching parables, Your Buddha Nature invites all listeners to experience the truth of life, through one of Buddhisms original and most treasured practices.

USER REVIEWS
"This series of tapes on the 10 paramitas or perfections is probably one of the best, if not the best that Jack Kornfield has made. It is full of interesting stories, poems and he delivers them in a humorous, compassionate and poignant manner.
I have probably listened to this tape series at least 200-300 times, perhaps more! I used to listen to it when I was walking on a treadmill or more often before going to sleep. There is much wisdom contained here and the stories really help the points to land deeply in the heart.
Jack Kornfield is a clinical psychologist, but he was also a monk in Thailand. He presents material in ways that resonate emotionally with Western people.
In this tape, he presents the 10 aspects of Buddha Nature that are understood to be inherent to every human being. He elaborates on each one in a very inspirational way. Everyone time I listen to this series, I seem to take away something new. It's all great food for deep reflection!
I would highly recommend this series to anyone whether they are a Buddhist or not. Jack Kornfield is a master storyteller with an extremely soothing voice, gentle manner and compassionate tone. All of these qualities really come across in this series.
There are also some simple meditations on here that are useful exercises. This is not the main focus of the tapes, but it is nice bonus material.
If you go to my profile, I have reviewed other material by Jack Kornfield and other people in the same genre. There are also some listmania lists I put together that may be helpful if you are looking for additional resources on meditation, yoga or Buddhism.

"Jack Kornfield does an excellent job of softly and gently leading the listener to understanding what is deep within. These Dharma talks help to ease the burdens of life and give one inner peace and understanding.
I find they are wonderful for daily listening --- morning or evening. They are graceful and full of marvelous strength for all who hear them.
I cannot recommend these listening pleasures enough.

"If you want to learn about yourself, with a smile and a tear, Jack Kornfield is the teacher for you. He has a marvelous sense of humor, especially about himself, and his depth of practice and experience comes through in this light-hearted approach to the Middle Path. Ideal for the beginner, but also highly recommended if you're an "old hand" who wants to get out of their Dharma rut.
Kindness and compassion are communicated in his words and tone, as he leads the listened through the fundamentals of Buddhist practice. A "must have" for any Dharma library!"

"Don't be intimidated by six audio tapes. Jack is excellent - the tapes are rich with examples, stories, and jokes. They are great company in the car or wherever, as we travel the path."

"In Your Buddha Nature is a nine hour audiobook presentation in which meditation instructor Jack Kornfield explores Buddhism's most basic foundation for mindful living called "The Ten Perfections". These perfections (which include the universal virtues of truthfulness, simplicity, and living kindness) are presented with uncommon clarity within a Buddhist perspective. These "Ten Perfections" are no viewed a remote possibilities, but as providing immediate, practical answers to the problems and challenges faced by men and women every day of their lives. In twelve absorbing sessions, Kornfield introduces the listener to the ten "paramitas" or inner perfections and how they can bring a sublime new dimension to any spiritual practice. Kornfield offers mediations and mindfulness techniques to open the perfections humans are born with. This nine-hour audio retreat invites the student to experience the the truth of life through awakening his or her Buddha Nature. Highly recommended."
