Love hurts and other misunderstandings book

A Woman’s Guide to Understanding Abuse in Relationships

I grew up in the Shambhala Buddhist tradition, started meditating at the age of six, and have been teaching meditation for the last sixteen years under the guidance of my teacher, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche. On an inner level, for a man in his thirties I have known a lot of heartbreak. Yes, the romantic kind, but also from too many people who have died, many around my age, and from every day reading the news and my heart breaking anew, seeing how many people are perpetuating horror and terror on others due to discrimination. On a secret level I wrote this because I needed to understand how heartbreak works, and writing is how I process information. We all experience heartbreak.
