"CARRYING THE LAMP"

“It's a beautiful and difficult task to carry the lamp of wisdom and love


through hard times and good. In this evening of teachings, stories, practice

and conversation we will find ways to sustain our heart and spirit, to carry the

lamp of justice and to care for ourselves and offer our best to the great

challenges of the earth.” ~ Jack Kornfield



Jack Kornfield trained as a Buddhist monk in the monasteries of Thailand, India and Burma.

He has taught meditation internationally since 1974 and is one of the key teachers to

introduce Buddhist mindfulness practice to the West. He is a founding teacher of the

Insight Meditation Society and Spirit Rock Meditation Center. He holds a PhD in clinical

psychology, and is a husband and father. His books include A Path with Heart; Buddha's

Little Instruction Book; Teachings of the Buddha; Seeking the Heart of Wisdom; Living

Dharma; A Still Forest Pool; Stories of the Spirit, Stories of the Heart; After the Ecstasy, the

Laundry; The Art of Forgiveness, Lovingkindness and Peace; and The Wise Heart: A Guide to
