“From a Buddhist perspective, there is really nothing but resistance to be analyzed; there is no true self waiting in the wings to be released. Only by revealing the insecurity can a measure of freedom be gained. When we can know our fear as fear and surround it with the patience of Buddha, we can begin to rest in our own minds and approach those to whom we would like to feel close.” MindFearFreedomResistanceTherapyInsecurityPsychotherapyBuddhist Perspective Book:Thoughts Without A Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective Source: Thoughts Without A Thinker: Psychotherapy from a Buddhist Perspective

“In building a path through the self to the far shore of awareness, we have to carefully pick our way through our own wilderness. If we can put our minds into a place of surrender, we will have an easier time feeling the contours of the land. We do not have to break our way through as much as we have to find our way around the major obstacles. We do not have to cure every neurosis, we just have to learn how not to be caught by them.” IfsWayMindSelfFeelingsBreakPathLandAwarenessBuildingEasierMajorsPicksCaughtObstaclesSurrenderCuresWildernessShoreNeurosisEasier Times Author:Mark Epstein
