ORDINARY FREEDOM
Book ID/图书代码： 09700015B86692
English Summary/英文概要： This book is about Freedom. It’s not about a special state or condition called “Freedom,” some idea or concept to be believed in; rather, it is about the recognition and realization of our essential nature.
When we arrive in this moment and awaken to the truth of our existence, we discover that Freedom is completely ordinary—ordinary, yet awesome. The recognition and realization of our essential nature is for many a gradual transition. The challenge of our generation is to find out how to support this transformation in the midst of our everyday lives.
Adyashanti writes, “This wonderful collection of Jon’s teachings really captures his ability to point us back to our own innate freedom. What makes Jon’s teachings so powerful and relevant, though, is that no part of the human experience is denied. Indeed, there is an open encouragement for all of our human experience to be included and embraced as a means of discovering the infinite ground of being, within which all of our experience unfolds. This in itself is a great gift to any spiritual seeker looking to find out what freedom is really all about.”
Reading Ordinary Freedom is like having a wise and loving but uncompromising friend on the path to discovering our true nature.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是一本关于自由的书。不是一种叫做“自由”的特殊状态或条件、被普遍接受的想法或概念。正相反，这本书有关自由的本质以及对它的认同和实现。
当我们终于认识到自己的存在时，我们会发现“自由”其实是很平凡的状态，是的，平凡，但也令人敬畏。认识和实现自由对很多人来说是一个循序渐进的过程。对我们这代人而言，最大的挑战在于发现如何在每一天的生活中做出改变。Adyashanti在前言中写道：“Jon这些精妙的教诲展现了他的能力，帮助我们找回内在的自由。这些教诲之所以如此有力和有意义，是因为它不抵触我们之前的任何经历。事实上，我们应该勇敢地拥抱之前的一切经历，并以此为手段发现存在的意义，这也是我们所有经验的来源。这本身就是所有追寻精神引导人拥有的伟大礼物，从而帮助他们找到自由的真正意义。”
阅读本书就好像拥有一个充满智慧和爱心、但并不轻易妥协的朋友，能够一路伴随我们发现真我本色。(LYR)

“To find an accomplished spiritual teacher is a rare gift. To find a book that puts you in a most lively way in the presence of such a teacher is even more rare. But here it is! Jon Bernie’s Ordinary Freedom has all the power of the spoken word and vibrates with the overtones of that teacher’s caring, compassionate nearness. Deep, yet always simple; simple, yet never simplistic; clear, eloquent, and always to the point, Ordinary Freedom is not an ordinary book. It springs from freedom and breathes freedom. Caution: This book may be hazardous to your current level of consciousness! ”—Brother David Steindl-Rast, OSB, author, lecturer, co-founder of www.gratefulness.org
“What a beautiful, simple, heartfelt message! The end of seeking is not something to be found in the future — it is right here, present at the very heart of experience, just waiting to be discovered by those who are ready and willing to come face-to-face with life. Jon Bernie expresses the timeless truth of non-duality (non-separation) in such a warm, authentically human voice. He meets you as a wise, loving friend — rather than as spiritual master or guru — and gently points out the various ways in which you are currently at war with your own experience. His message is rare and precious in that it does not attempt to deny or transcend our humanity, or dismiss it as an aberration, but rather embraces it fully as part of an infinitely bigger picture. Jon honours your embodied experience, whilst at the same time clearly and directly pointing you far beyond the personal, to a wordless freedom that belongs to no-one, and therefore is available to everyone. Read Ordinary Freedom and rediscover something that you have always known — that this seemingly ordinary life is already the miracle you’ve been seeking, and that here and now is forever saturated with wonder. This is mature, grounded spirituality for grown-ups, and I thoroughly recommend it.—Jeff Foster, author of The Wonder of Being and An Extraordinary Absence.
