We practice Dharma because we see the value of noble treasure, the wealth that is within... This kind of wealth will be free from dangers of the elements, such as flood and fire... It is something that [thieves] cannot find. No external threats can touch this happiness of [heart/mind]. - Ajahn Chah
Skillful attention to lived experience, willingness to face fear, and awareness of spaciousness from which everything arises result in a dynamic and vital life experience. See my book "Being Prayer" for explanation of these practices being appropriate for any tradition, particularly Christianity.
