Summary of Jack Kornfield's A Lamp in the Darkness

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 We all have the capacity to heal, but we have to discover what form that healing takes. We must not be afraid to face our difficulty, and we must turn toward it. #2 When we are faced with difficult times, we often begin to wonder not only how we can get through this difficult period, but also whether or not existence is worth it. #3 The most difficult thing about hard times is that we often feel that we are going through them alone. But we are not alone. We are part of a much larger stream of humanity that has carried the lamp of wisdom and courage and compassion through difficult times from one generation to another. #4 We were designed to journey through the full measure of beauty and sorrows in life and survive. We need support and reminders to trust in ourselves. We were designed to survive.
