In case you missed the incredible event on 11/30 with Tara Brach at NYU, you can now listen to the entire even audio here. One of the deepest forms of suffering in our culture is the pain of feeling that “something is wrong with me.” When not faced, this deep insecurity keeps us at war with ourselves, and fuels the intolerance and violence that so plagues our world today. Whether in the shape of chronic judgment, depression or addictive behavior, feelings of deficiency prevent us from living and loving fully. Radical Acceptance is the capacity to see clearly what is happening in the moment, and to accept what we see with love. As we cultivate these qualities of mindfulness and compassion, the trance of unworthiness lifts. Radical Acceptance awakens us from the grip of our human insecurity and reveals our Buddha nature—the loving awareness that is our very essence. Tara Brach, Ph.D is a clinical psychologist, internationally known meditation teacher and author of bestselling Radical Acceptance and True Refuge. Tara’s podcast addresses the value of meditation in relieving emotional suffering and serving spiritual awakening, and receives over a million downloads each month. In addition to her public teaching, she is active in bringing meditation into DC area schools, prisons and to underserved populations.
