| Abstract
|
:
|
An indispensible handbook for cultivating fearlessness and awakening a compassionate heart. With insight and humor, Buddhist nun Pema Chodron presents down-to-earth guidance on how we can embrace, rather than deny, painful aspects of our lives. She frames her teachings around 59 traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims such as: "Always maintain only a joyful state of mind." "Don't seek others' pain as the limbs of your own happiness." "Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment."
