What if the very things you've been running from-your fears, anger, and messy emotions-are actually your greatest treasures? This is the radical invitation of Pema Chodron's wisdom. Unlike self-help books promising quick fixes, Chodron offers a counterintuitive approach: stop trying to escape your pain and instead move closer to it. The path to genuine compassion begins not with perfecting ourselves, but with befriending ourselves exactly as we are. Like a homeless person sleeping above buried treasure, we fail to recognize the wealth beneath us-our basic buddha nature remains untouched by the swirling emotions that often define our experience. These difficult feelings aren't problems to eliminate but resources to embrace. When we can't be there for others, it's often because we're not there for ourselves-we're too busy hiding from our own experience.
