Como podemos viver nossas vidas quando tudo parece desmoronar ao nosso redor - quando somos continuamente dominados pelo medo, ansiedade e dor? Em seu livro mais amado e aclamado, Pema mostra que mover-se em direção a situações dolorosas e tornar-se íntimo delas pode abrir nossos corações de maneiras nunca antes imaginadas. Com base na sabedoria tradicional budista, ela oferece ferramentas de mudança de vida para transformar o sofrimento e padrões negativos em tranquilidade habitual e alegria sem limites.

Podemos permitir que as circunstâncias da vida nos endureçam, deixando-nos cada vez mais cheios de medos e ressentimentos, ou podemos nos tornar mais abertos em relação ao que nos assusta. Nós sempre temos escolha. Na maioria das vezes, tentamos nos proteger através da raiva, do ciúme, da inveja, da arrogância e do orgulho, mas não conseguimos vencer a incerteza e o medo com essas barreiras. Temos que aprender a nos relacionar com o desconforto usando outras ferramentas, como a bondade e a compaixão.

Des outils pratiques pour cultiver "Le courage au cœur tendre". Pour la plupart d'entre nous, la confiance est quelque chose qui va et qui vient.

Dans "Confiance inconditionnelle", Pema Chödrön partage une méthode en trois étapes pour nous aider à travailler avec la peur et l'incertitude. Pema nous enseigne que "les racines de la vraie confiance se nourrissent de notre capacité à vivre une amitié inconditionnelle avec nous-même, à nous entraîner à la douceur, et à nous fier à notre intelligence naturelle pour nous frayer un chemin à travers la vie."

Apprendre à puiser la force à même la peur et la souffrance. Où chercher de l'aide quand la peur nous assaille ? Où trouver de la force ? À quoi pouvons-nous nous fier ? Le bouddhisme tibétain enseigne l'existence de quatre nobles aspirations, ou quatre grandes qualités de l'éveil, qui permettent de cultiver la force et l'ouverture, quelles que soient les circonstances.
