Living with Vulnerability by Pema Chodron
Description
Dear Friend,
We are, by our very nature, vulnerable beings. We resist the things that make us uncomfortable, and when we encounter feelings of vulnerability — whether from loss, fear, or self-criticism — we automatically put up barriers. But we can never truly avoid feeling vulnerable — that’s part of the human experience.
However, as we become accustomed to feeling uncomfortable, we can work to tame the thing that causes the most suffering — the mind.
In the Buddhist contemplative tradition, we are taught that our fundamental state of being is when we are wide open, awake, and have a tremendous capacity to love.
-What if you could learn to embrace the full range of your experiences with unconditional warmth, openness, and kindness?
-What if you no longer “hated” being vulnerable and instead of suppressing you, your emotions became your teachers?
-What if you prefer gentle acceptance of yourself and others over harsh judgments?
By remaining present in everything that arises in your mind, you can begin to make just such a shift in thinking.
My deepest hope is that you will learn to relate to your own life experiences with the same love and support that you offer your most loyal friends.
And when you begin to unravel your habitual patterns — fear of vulnerability, aversion to discomfort, intrusive self-criticism — you will open yourself up and experience your true nature, filled with limitless potential.
