Transforming Our Suffering

We are starting a new book! Please join us for a discussion of Start Where You Are by Pema Chodron. You are most welcome to attend whether or not you’ve done the reading. We start with a short meditation; Pamela summarizes the chapter and shows a video to support the reading; Harry Miller reflects on the teachings, and then we have a discussion. Each session is standalone, so you can drop in whenever you wish.

In Start Where You Are “Pema offers down-to-earth guidance on how we can go beyond the fleeting attempts to ‘fix’ our pain and, instead, to take our lives as they are as the only path to achieve what we all yearn for most deeply—to embrace rather than deny the difficulties of our lives. These teachings, framed around fifty-nine traditional Tibetan Buddhist maxims, point us directly to our own hearts and minds, such as ‘Be grateful to everyone,’ and ‘Don’t expect applause.’ By working with these slogans as everyday meditations, Start Where You Are shows how we can all develop the courage to work with our own inner pain and discover true joy, holistic well-being, and unshakeable confidence.
