First published 2006
When war rages on, Pema Chödrön teaches a path to inner peace. Sitting in her monastery, she guides readers to confront fear, anger, and pain - not by ignoring them, but by meeting them with compassion. Through Tibetan Buddhist philosophy and personal stories, she shows how to transform the difficulties of everyday life into opportunities for growth. By practicing presence, acceptance, and loving-kindness, we can find the courage to face the unknown and ultimately discover our own innate wholeness.
