Anything we experience, no matter how challenging, can become an open pathway to awakening.
Pema ChodronMeditation is not a matter of trying to achieve ecstasy, spiritual bliss, or tranquillity, nor is it attempting to become a better person. It is simply the creation of a space in which we are able to expose and undo our neurotic games, our self-deceptions, our hidden fears and hopes.
Pema ChodronThe more we witness our emotional reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain.
