More About This Book

Overview

Based
on talks given during a one-month meditation retreat at Gampo Abbey, this book
contains teachings that were intended to inspire and encourage practitioners to
remain wholeheartedly awake to everything that occurs and to use the abundant
material of daily life as their primary teacher and guide. The message for the
retreat participants—and for the reader as well—is to be with oneself without
embarrassment or harshness. This is instruction on how to love oneself and
one's world.


This
Shambhala Pocket Classic is an abridged version of
The
Wisdom of No Escape.
