This introduction explores friendliness by moving through seven main topics. The first two topics (recollection of the body and working with the hin-drances) provide the foundations and could in themselves be considered as an autonomous and complete practice. In fact, anything else will just be a deepening of what is already entailed by them. They should be fairly acces-sible, although they will require a certain degree of time and dedication in order to be mastered. Topics three and four (non-aversion and vulnerability) introduce friendliness in a more explicit way. Topic four is perhaps the most important of all, since it is at this point that wisdom can genuinely arise and transform one’s way of looking at experience. This topic might be difficult for some since it entails an ability to face themes (like death) that are usually ignored or avoided. And yet, these issues are inevitably present anyway, and nobody is exempt from having to confront them.
