Vivimos en épocas difíciles. En ocasiones la vida parece un río turbulento que amenaza con ahogarnos y destruir al mundo. ¿Por qué entonces no deberíamos aferrarnos a la certidumbre de la orilla —a nuestros patrones y hábitos familiares? Porque, según nos enseña Pema Chödrön, ese tipo de anclaje basado en el temor nos priva de la experiencia infinitamente más satisfactoria de estar plenamente vivos. Las enseñanzas que la autora nos presenta aquí -conocidas como los "Tres Compromisos"— brindan una riqueza de conocimientos para aprender a adentrarse directamente en el río, a acoger plenamente y sin temores el carácter insondable del ser humano. Cuando lo hacemos, empezamos a ver no solamente cuánto mejor se siente vivir de esa manera sino que descubrimos que, de manera natural y efectiva, empezamos a buscar el cuidado y apoyo de otras personas. We live in difficult times. Life sometimes seems like a turbulent river threatening to drown us and destroy the world. Why, then, shouldn’t we cling to the certainty of the shore—to our familiar patterns and habits? Because, Pema Chödrön teaches, that kind of fear-based clinging keeps us from the infinitely more satisfying experience of being fully alive. The teachings she presents here—known as the "Three Commitments"—provide a wealth of wisdom for learning to step right into the river, to completely and fearlessly embrace the groundlessness of being human. When we do, we begin to see not only how much better it feels to live that way, but we find that we begin to naturally and effectively reach out to others in care and support.

Fragments of diverse lectures centered around the theme of the three factors of the revolution of the consciousness. Published in 1979. "Read this booklet, casual reader, and you can be sure you have got in your hands a Wisdom which can convert you into a Superman, which gives you power in order to break all the chains that bind you to vices and pleasures, paths which lead to the devastation. Here is the fulcrum of Archimedes that he had asked for in order to move the universe." "Lee este librito, lector ocasional y puedes estar seguro que ha llegado a tus manos una Sabiduría que puede convertirte en Superhombre, que te da poder para romper todas las cadenas que te atan a vicios y placeres, caminos que conducen a la devastación. Aquí tienes el punto de apoyo que pedía Arquímedes para mover el universo."

Life is surprising- it's a bit like traveling through a deep, impenetrable forest where you can hardly see in front of your nose. Then, as you come round a bend, you suddenly see a mesmerizing landscape spread out before you. What's really interesting though, is that to see this vision you have to have first navigated through the dark forest with its never-ending series of twists and turns. I'm now at a point in my life where I've just gone round a particularly sharp bend and the forest has suddenly opened up into this incredible space which seems to go on forever. And I'm struck by how impossible it would have been for me to even imagine what it could be like. It feels like the endless, luminous space is saturated with the beauty of the Universe, and I can feel the clean air of freedom filling my lungs. I'm still at the bend, absorbing it all. I'm transfixed as I contemplate the mesmerizing landscape. This short book is the result of that first moment of awe. It's about wanting to share the meaning of a journey that has brought me to this point, and to try to shed light on the elusive yet incredibly simple explanation for this wonderful discovery. As with all my books, I sincerely hope that this one is able to transmit this unearthed treasure to others - to confirm that such intense clarity does exist, and that it fills your heart with an intense sense of freedom. The boost I wish to offer to your personal development goes beyond the intellectual. Its main goal is to enable release from suffering, because pain dissolves when it is understood deeply. May those joining me on this journey feel inspired and encouraged, and may it help all men and women feel the liberation of understanding blossom inside them.
