In
"Start Where You Are", Pema encourages us to cultivate compassion
for others by first being compassionate towards ourselves. Her insightful
writing about what it means to be human frequently had me pausing for
reflection and thought, which definitely made this NOT a quick read despite
its short length. As with much Buddhist writing, there is a lot of difficult
jargon and complex concepts that I'm not sure I even halfway grasped, but
Pema Chodron does an admirable job of explaining these concepts for Western
audiences.
