The Three Commitments

Walking the Path of Liberation

De: Pema Chödrön

Narrado por: Pema Chodron

Tibetan Buddhism describes three gates that everyone must pass through on the road to spiritual liberation. With the Three Commitments, Pema Chodron brings her unique blend of insight and gentle instruction to guide practitioners through each of these thresholds as they seek the source of true happiness.

As Pema explains, suffering arises when we resist the laws of impermenance - the fact that everything we know, including ourselves, will one day die. Here she provides teachings and practices for fully embracing life's ephemeral nature using these three traditional monastic vows or "commitments".

Another great resource!

Again, I am so grateful for these recordings of Pema! The ability to feel as if you are actually there and participating is so wonderful for someone who cannot take off from work to attend such an event! It is helpful for me as a beginner searching for more direction in the spiritual path. Thanks!

A couple of chapters dod have low audio quality

Incomplete based on Title

What did you love best about The Three Commitments?

Very indepth teaching from Pema

Would you be willing to try another book from Pema Chodron? Why or why not?

Of course. I have others. Not the first nor the last

What does Pema Chodron bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Humor. Authenticity at a very human level

Any additional comments?

What is missing are all three commitments. I presume because the listener is not taking monastic vows. Seems appropriate in hindsight, but the title is very misleading when we don't hear everything. Even a chapter heading refers to the commitment and then Pema goes on to talk about something else.

Classic instructional epic from the Master

Her insightful, relaxed teaching style is unparalleled. There is nothing to criticize in this masterful guide to seeking a meaningful existence in the midst of the storms of being human.
