An Unusual and Wonderful Aspect of Dharma Practice

Customer Rating:
In this endearing account of her forays into the world of true friendship (friendship firmly anchored in the truth), Sara Jenkins bravely chronicles how, through deep listening and abiding presence, she learned to acknowledge and dismantle the inner structures we so carefully build and maintain as defenses against the world, and discovered how to enjoy and rest in the empty space between one person and another. Her writing is fresh, honest, and comforting. She lays bare her own foibles with disarming candor and demonstrates that "A friend from whom you have nothing to hide is precious indeed."
