Comfortable with uncertainty Developing inner strength and trust The course of suffering Embracing the most challenging things Getting rid of blame The slogans of atisa The buddha as the great physician Learning to stay The eightfold path Tonglen overview and instructions The six points of posture The heart sutra mantra Changing the movie of your life Just be curious The wisdom of no escape No such thing as a true story What causes suffering and what triggers suffering The five skandhas Cultivating unconditional friendliness through meditation Open to whatever arises Unlimited joy and equanimity Our basic goodness in the face of difficult events Our habitual cravings Accessing our innate wisdom Making a case against anger Maitri and karuna When forgiveness is difficult Everyone wants to be happy The four limitless ones Compassion Its never to late Tonglen Being right here Thinking bigger Coming back into presence Warrior slogans Being faithful to the technique Sowing positive seeds Ways we avoid the present The future is unwritten Refraining from habitual patterns Weather and the four noble truths Four qualities of merit Looking deeply The four stagesof formal tonglen practice Prologue Finding the ability to rejoice Attention and relaxation Breathing for self and others Overcoming the three difficulties Discursive thought Training in letting go Refreshing your body Seven ways of gathering virtue Be willing to fail Allowing space for something new The lord of speech Turning poison into medicine The four powers and the five strengths Unlocking your buddha heart Developing tolerance under fire Seeing the complexity of every Reframing our attitude toward d Track Start Uncovering buddha nature Waiting for a thought to occur
