This Moment Is the Perfect Teacher

Ten Buddhist Teachings on Cultivating Inner Strength and Compassion

By: Pema Chodron

Narrated by: Pema Chodron

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.

So real and funny

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.

Love Pema audios/books

I slow down the talk/book she is speaking (audio) to about .5 or .6, which helps me to process what she is saying. Then I can better understand/use the teaching. This one is especially useful at this time in my life. I’m very grateful for her explanation and interpretation of the Buddhist teachings.

Wonderful!

Truly transformative teachings that have changed how I show up. Thank you so very much!
