From the Book - Revised and updated edition.
Getting sick : a romantic trip to Paris
Staying sick : this can't be happening to me
The Buddha tells it like it is
The universal law of impermanence
Who is sick? who is in pain?
Finding joy in the life you can no longer lead
Soothing the body, mind, and heart
Using compassion to alleviate your suffering
Facing the ups and downs of chronic illness with equanimity
Getting off the wheel of suffering
Tonglen : spinning straw into gold
With our thoughts we make the world
The present moment as a refuge
Wise action: what to do and what not to do
Connecting with others and appreciating solitude
A guide to using the practices to help with specific challenges.
