When Things Fall Apart

[Philip Joseph]

I'd be very interested to hear from anyone who's met her.  I'd particularly 
like to recommend a little pocket book by her, called "Awakening 
Loving-Kindness".  An essential tool for me when I'm opening space, to 
remind me that I can let go of my attachments to outcomes, and that all I 
need to do is to forgive myself and everyone else, and be present with what 
is happening.

I do find that I need to remind myself of these simple truths quite often... 
;-)

Subject: When Things Fall Apart


> To my dear friends at OSonOS Halifax:
> A dear friend recently gave me a copy of the book "When Things Fall
> Apart" and today I arrived at Chapter 13, "Widening the Circle of
> Compassion" and found this prologue:
>
> "Only in an open, nonjudgmental space can we acknowledge what we are
> feeling. Only in an open space where we're not all caught up in our own
> version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are,
> which allows us to be with them and communicate them properly."
>
> The book is written by an American Buddhist nun, Pema Chodron, who
> resides at Gampo Abbey, Pleasant Bay, Nova Scotia.

> Perhaps one or more of you there in Halifax will pay her a visit. It's
> clear she is one of us!
