How to find freedom from fear- Buddhist teachings that really work, from a respected contemporary teacher.

Fear is

something that's such a part of our lives that it doesn't seem it would

be possible to live without it.

This book disputes that claim in a

powerful way. Gaylon Ferguson presents traditional Buddhist teachings to

show that the fear that so often wreaks havoc on us is in fact quite

insubtantial-and it's mostly something we create ourselves. If we can

learn to see that, it becomes pretty simple to un-create it, and we also

discover that there's a natural fearlessness in us that goes far deeper

than fear. With this natural bravery as our foundation, we can live our

own lives more effectively and also be a better help and comfort to

others.

Reviews for Natural Bravery: Fear and Fearlessness as a Direct Path of Awakening

In Natural Bravery, Gaylon Ferguson has honed the Shambhala teachings into an insightful expedition on which we discover fear to be a gift of our own basic goodness. By engaging in these contemplations, we can empower ourselves to move from fear to fearlessness in every aspect of our lives.--Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche, author of The Shambhala Principle Gaylon Ferguson guides us along the path to true fearlessness. In these times, when fear abounds--both inside and outside us--such a path cannot be more important or more urgent. Fortunately for us, Ferguson is an authentic and skillful guide for our journey.--Jan Willis, author of Dreaming Me: Black, Baptist, and Buddhist Natural Bravery fearlessly proclaims that we have access to a vast, sacred wisdom that is always available but often lost sight of in today's chaotic world. If you want to rediscover this wisdom read this important book.--Michael Carroll, author of Awake at Work Natural Bravery provides an excellent map for transforming one of the deep causes of our suffering--fear--into freedom.--Sharon Salzberg, author of Real Happiness
