I’m hooked already. This last few months, I feel I’ve really lost my way when it comes to my practice. All I’ve been able to see, is the hate and selfishness out there - like a new pandemic. It’s caused all sorts of emotions to arise that I have t felt for a long time as a Buddhist practitioner - hate, anger… Then I had a hospital admission where my care was incorrect, and my anger exploded within me. Almost everyone around me has caused hatred and anger to arise on a daily basis and I’ve felt like an out of control animal who had never even heard of Dharma. So, reading your words today has brought me great comfort Wendy. Just like your original podcast series brought me to the Dharma for the first time and saved my mind. It seems you’re going to do it again ❤️🙏❤️xx
Beautiful sharing, Kelly. I can't really imagine some of your pain, both physical and emotional, but I can relate to how anger, resentment, and mistrust arise from fear. Thank you so much for subscribing. I hope we can continue to be partners in this confusing life, as you share my honest admissions. I hope you'll love the "Words From My Teachers" podcast, too! Gentle hugs and lots of love. _/|\_
I can’t wait to read whatever else you have to share and to learn alongside you. We walk this path with many other people, but there are some whose hands we hold as we walk. You and I are linked somehow, maybe by karma, who knows. But I’m very grateful for it, and for you. I love and cherish all of your teachings Wendy, and whilst it sometimes takes me a while to be in the right mind space to be receptive to them, they always find me just when I need them most. So thank you ☺️🙏❤️x
This introduction resonates on so many levels. The way you describe Right View as something we don’t just ‘achieve’ but constantly wrestle with—especially in times of crisis—is something I’ve felt deeply over the last few years. The pandemic didn’t just test our resilience; it forced us to confront the ways we perceive reality, others, and even ourselves.
I love that you’re sharing this book in real time, allowing us to reflect alongside you. Because honestly, the struggle to see clearly—to hold space for nuance when fear, anger, and uncertainty pull us toward extremes—is a lifelong practice.
Thank you, Anton! It is a great experience to share this in real time. Not only does it force me to write (I seem to be a slacker unless I have deadlines) but it deepens my practice of looking at myself and what I think, believe, etc. I could write the same things is a journal but I wouldn't read it carefully enough to ask myself, "Really? Is that what is really happening?!"

Thanks, Wendy. Really appreciate this.
