"When things fall apart" Pema Chödrön

Traducir

This book fell into my hands at a time when its title and my life situation were absolutely interchangeable. Fortunately, the contents of the book shed light on my perception of the situation and how to approach it, so I am very grateful to this "heart advice for difficult times".

Pema Chödrön, Buddhist nun, very commited to her path, warm, loving and sympathetic to human weakness, suggests clues to cope better with chaos. She aims you to perceive chaos as an opportunity to recognize and face, with no fear, the impermanence and constant change of life, instead of rapidly seeking a solid basis on which to rest again.

It is quite interesting and a real challenge.

I leave you with some thought-provoking words of the book:

"It is not a terrible thing that we feel fear when faced with the unknown. It is part of being alive, something we all share. We react against the possibility of loneliness, of death, of not having anything to hold on to.
If we commit ourselves to staying right where we are, then our experience becomes very vivid. Things become very clear when there is nowhere to escape."
