The many expressions of enlightenment - by Jack Kornfield

I just found this to be a very insightful read, on the differences between many masters of different wisdom traditions.

Thank you, Albin. Many enlightenments and many doors. Big cosmos.

When I see the new global MOOC classes (like via Coursera) I think it would be nice if there were a global class for young children (and it could start now for us older ones) --- just formalizing for a moment and through the course of one's education the natural instinct to lay on the ground and to look at the sky/look close at the earth, and to acknowledge this foremost underlying curiosity of being and here.

I would check out all of his stuff. Lots of wide wisdom in there. A Path with Heart is usually the first book I recommend to people.
