To Rest Like A Tree is the the work of Mark Nepo, a poet and teacher. In this podcast Dr Karen discusses Mark’s book called The Book of Awakening – Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the life You Have. He provides small doses of what really matters, simple truths, and stories for our everyday life. This podcast is one such story, called To Rest Like A Tree and is based on a teaching from Buddha’s Little Instruction Book:
“Praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow come and go like the wind. To be happy, rest like a great tree in the midst of them all.”
