Summary of Tara Brach's True Refuge

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 The Buddhist teaching of loving presence is central to my work with my meditation students and therapy clients. It is through realizing loving presence as our very essence that we discover true freedom.

#2 When we are most upset, our minds race and we start talking to ourselves. We must remember to pause and let be, even if we forget some of the time.

#3 We often don’t respond wisely to our own deep prayer. We turn toward what I call false refuges, which are false because they provide a temporary sense of comfort or security but they create more suffering in the long run.

#4 The author’s wife, Pam, was able to fully attend to her husband during his last days because she allowed herself to be fully present with her inner experience. She was able to let go of all her ideas of how his dying should be and what else she should be doing, and just consent to the situation.
