When Shadow Meets the Bodhisattva is an unflinching exploration of the rise and fall of Andrew Cohen's organization EnlightenNext, in which the author details his own responsibility for its failure, and the lessons he learned, including the need to deal thoroughly with one’s shadow for continued spiritual growth.
Cohen presents wisdom from his discussions with spiritual leaders including Ken Wilber, Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi, Steve McIntosh, Terry Patten, Doshin Roshi, Sally Kempton, Philip Goldberg, Jeffrey Kripal, and Patricia Albere.
Finally, he shares a new vision for a spirituality of tomorrow, and a modern understanding of the ancient Buddhist model for disseminating enlightened wisdom known as the Triple
Gem.
