Synopsis
This is a beautiful, gift book edition (with a ribbon marker) of a modern-day classic. <i>Start Where You Are </i> is an indispensable handbook for cultivating fearlessness and awakening a compassionate heart. With insight and humor, Pema Chödrön, author of <i>The Wisdom of No Escape </i>and <i>When Things Fall Apart, </i>presents down-to-earth guidance on how to make friends with ourselves and develop genuine compassion toward others. The author shows how we can "start where we are" by embracing rather than denying the painful aspects of our lives. Pema Chödrön frames her teachings on compassion around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, or slogans, such as: <br><br>   •  "Always apply a joyful state of mind" <br>   •  "Don't seek others' pain as the limbs of your own happiness" <br>   •  "Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment" <br><br><br>Working with these slogans and through the practice of meditation, <i>Start Where You Are </i>shows how we can all develop the courage to work with our own inner pain and discover joy, well-being, and confidence.

Hardback. Condition: Good. Pema Ch dr n's perennially helpful guide to transforming the pains and difficulties in our lives into opportunities for genuine joy and personal growth We all want to be fearless, joyful, and fully alive. And we all know that it's not so easy. We're bombarded every day with false promises of ways to make our lives better--buy this, go here, eat this, don't do that; the list goes on and on. But Pema Ch dr n shows that, until we get to the heart of who we are and really make friends with ourselves, everything we do will always be superficial. Here she offers down-to-earth guidance on how we can go beyond the fleeting attempts to fix our pain and, instead, to take our lives as they are as the only path to achieve what we all yearn for most deeply--to embrace rather than deny the difficulties of our lives. These teachings, framed around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, point us directly to our own hearts and minds, such as Always meditate on whatever provokes resentment, Be grateful to everyone, and Don't expect applause. By working with these slogans as everyday meditations, Start Where You Are shows how we can all develop the courage to work with our own inner pain and discover true joy, holistic well-being, and unshakeable confidence.
