• Sommario/riassunto: Gaylon Ferguson's 'Natural Bravery' explores the pervasive nature of fear in our lives and offers a path to overcoming it through traditional Buddhist teachings. The book emphasizes that the fears we often experience are largely self-created and can be unmade by recognizing our inherent fearlessness. Ferguson, a faculty member at Naropa University and a senior teacher in the Shambhala International Buddhist community, draws on his extensive background in meditation and Buddhist philosophy to guide readers in utilizing natural bravery as a foundation for effective living and compassionate interaction with others. The book is intended for those seeking personal growth and spiritual awakening through understanding and transforming fear into a source of courage and compassion.
