Seeking the Heart of Wisdom – The Path of Insight Meditation by Joseph Goldstein
In Seeking the Heart of Wisdom Goldstein and Kornfield present the central teachings and practices of insight meditation in a clear and personal language.

The authors guide the reader in developing the openness and compassion that are at the heart of this spiritual practice.
