FIND THE GAP THAT FILLS WITH PEACE

FIND THE GAP THAT FILLS WITH PEACE
Pema Chodron is so wise and articulate.  She guides us so beautifully into accepting life as it is, as it comes to us.  We then can find the gap: between fear and security, doubt and faith.  It is that space wherein peace can be found and then drawn into the other places; the spaces that are not as lovely and the spaces that are.


Building Unconditional Openness
“Whether we’re seeking inner peace or global peace or a combination of the two, the way to experience it is to build on the foundation of unconditional openness to all that arises. Peace isn’t an experience free of challenges, free of rough and smooth—it’s an experience that’s expansive enough to include all that arises without feeling threatened.”
- Pema Chodron, "Unlimited Friendliness"
