Summary: This book will mislead you from the real path
Comment: I reviewed this book last year and gave it five stars. But now I give it 0 stars because my life since then has been a hopeless living. I followed Pema's advice, but my question is what is the purpose in the lifestyle she is recommending. There is no goal. You live your life like a machine without any hope.
This book is the highest form of DECEPTION I have ever seen. Pema might be doing this knowingly or unknowingly. I do not know her intentions. But this book should be rephrased as hopeless living.
Now I have hope and a goal in life. If people are thinking how. I found Christ who many people including me did not know what he is or who he is.
Christ was God himself who manifested in the form of flesh so as to show us the way of life and how we can lead a victorious life (victory over mind and evil) by walking in God's ability, not human abilities. Because for generations humans have been trying to perfect their life by their own abilities and failed. No one could be consistent. Now I assure you that you will find consistency when you hold the hands of Christ.

Summary: A new perspective is often a better perspective
Comment: I guess most people who pick up this book will have some aspect of their lives that is falling apart at the time. I certainly did. The title really is very captivating. In fact it was so captivating for me that I didn't realise this book espoused Buddhist philosophy until I actually started reading it. In some ways I have never been comfortable with comforting texts, but I have always tried to keep an open mind about other people's cultures and traditions. Pema Chodron walks a fine line of encouraging and stimulating, for me anyway. But the book is by no means comforting with its messages of living with hopelessness, letting things go, refraining from doing things and so on. My perspective changed in many ways as I read - perhaps not fixedly, but nevertheless I greatly value the shifts that occurred and their impact will not disappear even if I continue much as I have in the past.
And, as I read, I realised that the past is the problem with its regrets but so is the future with its urges for satisfaction. The only real problem with the present is that it last for such a short time!
