The Wisdom of No Escape
The Wisdom of No Escape and the Path of Loving-Kindness

Her first book, composed of the talks from a month-long retreat at Gampo Abbey. It presents sitting meditation as a form of unconditional friendship with oneself (maitri) and argues that difficulties are not to be fled but learned from. It sets the direct, warm tone of all her later work.
