By Running From What We Fear, We

My First Book, 'radical Acceptance', Grew Out Of The Suffering Of Feeling Personally Deficient And Unworthy. Because Most Of Us Are So Quick To Turn Against Ourselves, The Teachings And Practices Of Radical Acceptance Continue As A Strong Current In 'true Refuge': Nurturing A Forgiving, Understanding Heart Is A Basic Step On The Path.

Take Moments To Savor What Is Beautiful And Good.

Our Greatest Longing Is To Be Intimate.

We Wait For Things To Be Different In Order To Feel Okay With Life. As Long As We Keep Attaching Our Happiness To The External Events Of Our Lives, Which Are Ever Changing, We’ll Always Be Left Waiting For It.

We, Like The Mother Of The World, Become The Compassionate Presence That Can Hold, With Tenderness, The Rising And Passing Waves Of Suffering.
