Publisher's summary

Learn how to use the gift of pain with Pema Chödrön, a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition. She teaches that it is in suffering where you will find the seeds of your awakening and that vulnerability is actually your greatest spiritual resource. You'll learn how to create your own spiritual retreat, the key teachings necessary for cultivating your own "soft spot" - the gateway to your own noble heart, the promise of the Four Limitless Ones, and the teachings on the Six Paramitas: the Buddha's own map of the journey to enlightenment. This program was recorded within the peaceful shrine room of Gampo Abbey, Chödrön's home on the cliffs of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.

Calming Effect

I continue to really enjoy this audio, although it is over 9 hours in length, I have listened to it many times over, and receive new insights each and every time. It has a calming effect which is greatly needed for many of us while we are living our lives in this intensely competitive and fast paced society! I highly recommend this audio book for anyone who is searching for ways to deal with the day to day ups and downs of life.

every chapter is more insightful than the last!!

this is my favorite Pema chodron book so far on developing a practice. I learned more from it about myself and about meditation and about what I can do to shift my thought process everyday. each chapter is more helpful than the last and the end is truly brilliant and Incredibly helpful. I am definitely going to share this one far and wide.

Help for PTSD

This book and this path is the answer I have been seeking to help heal the suffering from the trauma of abuse. I can now deal more effectively with memories, triggers and the perpetrators. I can also take others by the hand to ease their suffering.

The Real Deal

it doesn't get better than this. I feel that Pema walked me through every hangup I ever had to envision something beyond by going through everything I have ever tried to run away from inside myself. she challenges me more than any other teaching to soften where I want harden and to become fixed in my.way of being. I'm still reflecting on her teachings.

Excellent

Absolute beautiful, as all the teachings from Pema Chodron. She has a way to transmit her wisdom that has no parallel.
