From False Refuge to True Awakening: A Guide to Inner Truth, with Tara Brach

Описание: Tara Brach explores the powerful concept of false refuges—the habits and behaviors we use to seek approval or comfort, like overworking, codependence, or overconsumption. These strategies may offer temporary relief but ultimately keep us from connecting with our true selves and finding lasting peace. Tara guides us to recognize and move beyond these false refuges to discover the true happiness and inner treasures that lie within us.

Drawing from Zen teachings and the example of the Buddha, Tara highlights the importance of self-awareness and mindfulness in uncovering our inherent clarity, love, and freedom. She invites us to reflect on the false refuges that dominate our lives, whether it’s seeking approval, being busy, or mental obsessions, and to gently explore their effects on our sense of self.

Through this practice, we’re encouraged to turn toward authentic refuges—particularly the embodiment of Buddha nature—to connect with the deeper truth of who we are. The teaching is a gentle reminder that true peace comes not from external validation, but from within, through awareness, love, and compassion.
