Bodhisattva Mind

Teachings to Cultivate Courage and Awareness in the Midst of Suffering

De: Pema Chödrön

Narrado por: Pema Chodron

What if you could cultivate the mind of a bodhisattva -- one who has dedicated one's life to the benefit of others? According to Pema Chödrön, best-selling author and American-born Buddhist nun, you can. On Bodhisattva Mind, she examines sheshin, or "guarding alertness", and the other qualities of mind we need to develop on the path to enlightenment. "We all have a consciousness that knows what helps and what causes harm," says Ani Pema. "With this same ability, we can 'tame our minds', and extricate ourselves from suffering."

A practicum of insights and meditations from this cherished teacher, Bodhisattva Mind shows us how to connect with the spacious, clear, unbiased nature of our minds and experience the joy of complete freedom.

Such a Treasure

I can't say enough positive things about this recording. Just listen and you will see for yourself all that Pema Chodron has to offer. Humor, courage, kindness and insight. A simply wonderful listening experience.

continuity in teaching

Pema has wisdom, humor and an invitational style of teaching that keeps me continuing to study and practice on this spiritual path.

I love Pema!

As a student of Buddhism this is a perfectly pleasant explanation and commentary on Santideva's Way of the Bhodisattva. I just love Pema!

Accessible

As always Pema Chodron invites in the listener to learn and integrate Buddhist wisdom through stories and anecdotes that are relatable and even funny sometimes. She talks about cultivating the mind through working with the dharma, and explores being with others and inviting them in to see the possibilities of an open mind. At least that’s what I am sitting with!

Thoroughly enjoyed my first Pema Chodron book

Could not have picked a better first audiobook! Make sure to listen to it slowly and really digest what she says.
