What can be said about Pema that someone has not already said? She is simply one of the greatest minds of our time. This audio covers some of her older material, but expands into some new thoughts. I have most of her other audio books and this is by far...the best recording I have heard! There isn't the background noise or poor quality that is found in some of the other audio books. If you are thinking of buying any of her work or if you are new to her work then buy this one first. If you have her other work then buy it for the simply for the great quality! Lots of tools in this also. It is quite concise and great clarity on all levels!
this set of CDs brings brilliant conversation and practical advice in a fun and enjoyable format. I so appreciate Pema Chodron's real and down-to-earth style. Sharing her own learning road as well as her experiential and learned wisdom. Brilliant!
Peme Chodron has the ability to translate sacred teachings into AHA! moments for practical application. She has a way of getting to the nuts and bolts of a situation, of bringing us back to ground zero to look clearly, turn our view around to that simple thing that allows everything else to begin to fall into place. Her answer to a participant who was conflicted by her wish to be compassionate toward those who were hurting her is an example; paraphrasing, Pema Chodron pointed out that the Buddha never said we should allow others to do things that would hurt or harm us, that the Buddha never taught we should not have boundaries. That, in fact, healthy boundaries make good practice of compassion - knowing how to avoid or prevent the harmful actions of others not only spares us but spares others the karma of negative actions. There's so much more to this, and no one can say it quite as clearly and eloquently as PC herself. Her teachings have helped me to learn to relax with myself and to learn that I am just as much a recipient of my own compassion as everyone else is. You'll have to listen to her teaching for yourself to verify that this extract is indeed in this CD... I believe it is, and I know you will get many treasures from listening to any of her teachings.
I just got introduced to Pema Chodron a few months ago and I'm so glad I did. She has really helped me understand Buddhism, meditation, and has helped me be good to myself, less critical of me and others, and has opened my heart. I now have more understanding of how we beat up ourselves, something we seem to do consistently In our Western culture. Thank you, Pema!
