Awakening Dignity: A Guide to Living a Life of Deep Fulfillment. Phakchok Rinpoche, Sophie Wu

Dignity is the key to understanding how to live a full and meaningful life. This is especially true in our time, when so many people feel insecure, have low self-esteem, suffer from anxiety, dissatisfaction, or even their own success. How can we develop unwavering dignity in such circumstances? Pakchok Rinpoche offers a unique and fresh perspective on this issue, drawing on the tradition of Tibetan Buddhism.

From a Buddhist perspective, dignity is present in each of us, because it is the natural quality of our wholeness and completeness. Our true nature is pure and our heart is noble. In this book, Pakchok Rinpoche explains how the realization that we are already whole and complete, as well as the trust and confidence in this, helps us to free ourselves from feelings of inadequacy - as if we are missing something.

When we awaken true dignity, we are not overcome by insecurity, anxiety, or self-doubt. Instead, we are able to face any circumstance with confidence, clarity, and compassion. An unwavering belief in ourselves protects us from life's ups and downs. Awakening Dignity contains the tools necessary to fully embody our fundamental dignity.
