Books 1.7 When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chödrön
When we sit down to meditate and take an honest look at our minds, there is a tendency for it to become a rather morbid and depressing project. We can lose all sense of humour and sit with the grim determination to get to the bottom of this stinking mess. After a while, when people have been...
