How do you cope when facing life-threatening illness, family
conflict, faltering relationships, old trauma, obsessive thinking,
overwhelming emotion, or inevitable loss? If you're like most
people, chances are you react with fear and confusion, falling back
on timeworn strategies: anger, self-judgment, and addictive
behaviors. Though these old, conditioned attempts to control our
life may offer fleeting relief, ultimately they leave us feeling
isolated and mired in pain.
There "is" another way. Beneath the turbulence of our thoughts and
emotions exists a profound stillness, a silent awareness capable of
limitless love. Tara Brach, author of the award-winning "Radical
Acceptance, "calls this awareness our true refuge, because it is
available to every one of us, at any moment, no exceptions. In this
book, Brach offers a practical guide to finding our inner sanctuary
of peace and wisdom in the midst of difficulty.
Based on a fresh interpretation of the three classic Buddhist
gateways to freedom--truth, love, and awareness--"True Refuge"
shows us the way not just to heal our suffering, but also to
cultivate our capacity for genuine happiness. Through spiritual
teachings, guided meditations, and inspirational stories of people
who discovered loving presence during times of great struggle,
Brach invites us to connect more deeply with our own inner life,
one another, and the world around us.
" "
"True Refuge" is essential reading for anyone encountering hardship
or crisis, anyone dedicated to a path of spiritual awakening. The
book reminds us of our own innate intelligence and goodness, making
possible an enduring trust in ourselves and our lives. We realize
that what we seek is within us, and regardless of circumstances,
"there is always a way to take refuge in a healing and liberating
presence."

home."--Jack Kornfield, author of "The Wise Heart"
"Tara Brach writes from the heart to the heart. With candor and
calmness, she shares her own and others' struggles to overcome our
deep and constant human dilemmas. Whenever I read Brach, I feel
more peaceful and hopeful. I trust myself and the universe more. I
feel more connected and grounded in what the Lakota Sioux call
Wakan Tanka, The Great Mystery. "True Refuge" is itself a refuge
and I thank the author for it."--Mary Pipher, Ph.D., "New York
