Publisher: Bantam
June 10, 2003
This is a classic synthesis of western psychology and Buddhism. Acceptance is key to the Buddha's path of mindfulness and the place where suffering can heal. Acceptance is not giving in to our emotional pain, but rather turning towards it and embracing it with the spacious and compassionate awareness that is mindfulness.
