Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living

Pema ChÃ¶drÃ¶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 itâ€™s not so easy. Weâ€™re bombarded every day with false promises of ways to make our lives betterâ€”buy this, go here, eat this, donâ€™t do that; the list goes on and on. But Pema ChÃ¶drÃ¶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 â€œfixâ€ our pain and, instead, to take our lives as they are as the only path to achieve what we all yearn for most deeplyâ€”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 â€œAlways meditate on whatever provokes resentment,â€ â€œBe grateful to everyone,â€ and â€œDonâ€™t expect applause.â€ 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.
