Falling is Flying

What do you do when everything falls apart? "Instead of trying to discipline your mind with ill will, fault-finding, guilt, punishment, and fear, use something far more powerful: the beautiful kindness, gentleness, and forgiveness of making peace with life."--Ajahn Brahm "In free fall, nothing is solid and there is nothing to hold on to. There is no way to control the experience. You have to surrender, and with that surrender comes the taste of liberation." --Master Guojun Ajahn Brahm and Chan Master Guojun--one a teacher in the Theravada Buddhist tradition, the other in the Chinese Zen tradition--share personal stories and anecdotes from their own experiences of dealing with life's pitfalls. Personal, poetic, instructive, and often laugh-out-loud funny, this is inspiring advice for people from all walks of life.
