Embracing What We Most Want to Avoid
In a world increasingly defined by division and anxiety, there exists a radical alternative: turn toward what you instinctively flee from. This counterintuitive wisdom forms the heart of Pema Chodron's teachings on finding peace in turbulent times. What makes her approach so powerful isn't offering easy solutions, but something far more valuable-a path to genuine transformation through facing life's challenges with an open heart. When we shield ourselves from suffering, we inadvertently disconnect from life itself, building walls that separate us not only from our emotions but from authentic connection with others. The alternative? Touch our raw feelings-the loneliness, embarrassment, and sense of failure we all experience-without getting entangled in narratives about them. Something remarkable happens when we allow ourselves to feel our own pain-we naturally begin to care about others' suffering. This awakens bodhichitta, the courageous aspiration to alleviate suffering for all beings. It's not reserved for spiritual giants but emerges in ordinary people like Jarvis Masters, who maintained compassion despite thirty years of imprisonment. Our confidence will fluctuate-some days we'll feel brave enough to face anything; other days we'll retreat into old patterns of avoidance. Yet each time we practice being present with discomfort, our capacity expands, gradually building the foundation for genuine courage.
