Description
Start Where You Are is a practical guide to cultivating fearlessness and compassion, offering down-to-earth advice on how to make friends with ourselves and others. Pema Chödrön presents 59 traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, or slogans, to help us work with our inner pain and discover joy, well-being and confidence.
Through the practice of meditation and the application of these maxims, we can learn to embrace the painful aspects of our lives and develop a more compassionate heart. By working with our own inner pain, we can discover a sense of courage and confidence that allows us to live more fully.
