We all strive to keep what is dear to us and get rid of what is unpleasant to us. This main aspiration of a person is not consistent with the reality of life: everything is constantly changing, and no one can manage these changes. How to live in a world where nothing can guarantee stability, not go crazy with anxiety and, moreover, use this situation as a path to long-term happiness?The well-known Buddhist nun Pema Chodron in the West gives the answer to this question, explaining the so-called "Three Vows of the Buddha" in a modern and accessible language.The book contains the teachings of the Buddha and other teachers, as well as practical meditations. In addition, the author candidly shares his own experience.

In her books, she often mentions that it was difficulties in personal relationships that helped her find answers to deep questions and change herself.
