The Heart of Bravery

A Retreat with Sakyong Mipham and Pema Chodron

By: Pema Chödrön, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

Narrated by: Pema Chödrön, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche

Two of the world's most beloved spiritual teachers and leading figures in the Shambhala tradition of Buddhism discuss the core principles and practices of the tradition and how personal meditation practice can forge an enlightened society.

Best-selling authors Pema Chödrön and Sakyong Mipham get to the heart of Shambhala practice in this recorded retreat on the ways that inner peace and bravery can help us cultivate compassionate action and positive societal change. They offer insight on the inherent strength and goodness of humanity and on how each of us can tap into that strength through meditation practice. Sakyong Mipham provides guided practices on core Shambhala meditations for developing courage, love for others, and respect for others' basic human dignity; Pema Chödrön teaches extensively on how personal spiritual practice relates to community betterment; and a compelling panel discussion with Shambhala teacher Adam Lobel and Episcopal Rev. Marc Handley Andrus reviews how the retreat's teachings can be brought to bear in today's interconnected global society.

Grateful for Insights on Bravery

I'm a big Pema listener; running out of titles, in fact. Her sense of humor helps me access the teachings. It was a delightful surprise to discover that Sakyong Mipham, who I'd not heard before, is also quite funny! Their chemstry together and with the audience made this a joyful listening experience. The insights on various kinds of bravery were extremely valuable to me. I also enjoyed the live Q&A sections. Definitely recommend!

Very insightful

I enjoyed this book very much most of the things that were discussed I had heard and other books but this was a wonderful refresher

There should be negative stars. An abuser and imposter and his enabler

The legal challenges faced by this truly dreadful person, an abuser and charlatan who fancies himself a “king” put the lie to this so called teaching. Absolutely shameful.
