Start Where You Are: A Guide to Compassionate Living Audiobook (Free)

Start Where You Are is an essential handbook for cultivating fearlessness and awakening a compassionate center. With insight and laughter, Pema Chödrön presents down-to-earth help with how we can ‘begin where we are’-embracing rather than denying the painful areas of our lives. Pema Chödrön structures her teachings on compassion around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, or slogans, such as: ‘Always apply just a joyful mind-set,’ ‘Don’t look for others’ pain as the limbs of your pleasure,’ and ‘Usually meditate on whatever provokes resentment.’

Dealing with these slogans and through the practice of meditation, Start WHAT YOUR LOCATION IS shows how exactly we can all develop the courage to utilize our inner pain and discover joy, well-being, and confidence.
