Publisher's summary

Lojong is a powerful Tibetan Buddhist practice created especially for training the mind to work with the challenges of everyday living. It teaches our hearts to soften, reframes our attitude toward difficulty, and allows us to discover a wellspring of inner strength. In this recorded retreat, Pema Chödrön introduces the lojong teachings and explains how we can apply them to any situation in our life—because, as Pema says, "every moment is an opportunity for awakening." In addition, Pema also leads a guided tonglen meditation, a practice aimed at developing courage and cultivating compassion for ourselves and others.

Most useful insights for present awareness through difficulties

Pema Chodren is able to go to the very heart of the problematic moment in our lives, no matter what it is, and gives us ways to be present with that yet not solve every problem. She is one of the most down to earth, humorous, yet deeply taps in to our strengths more than any teacher I have encountered. Questions from participants at the end were also insightful and helpful.

Great content, scratchy audio

Classic Pema Chödrön is not to be missed. This is a very good talk on Tong Len, but the audio is somewhat staticy. You can get through it though. It’s worth it for her.
