The Work of Byron Katie is a revolutionary new method of inquiring into the thoughts which cause stress and stand in the way of peace. We hang on to stressful thoughts, even as they cause us to suffer, because we believe them to be true, and they are stressful because they conflict with the way things really are. As we do The Work, and question these thoughts, our attachment to them weakens and they begin to leave us. The result is relaxation, fearlessness and peace. The Work is so simple that a child can do it, and so powerful that even those who have never done any kind of meditation report that they experience a level of peace, clarity and compassion that they had never imagined could be possible. Those who learn and practice the Work experience healing in their relationships, contentment and creativity in their working lives, and a new level of peace and surrender in their spiritual path.
Byron Katie's first book "Loving What Is" was translated into Japanese but is now out of print. Please click here to download a copy of "苦しみの終わり" which is made of excerpts from this book. This short booklet is the best introduction to the Work in Japanese. There are also printed copies available at our events, and an English version can be downloaded from the website of Byron Katie International
