Pema Chodron "Troublemakers"

[crystalcraftsman]

and that is why jesus is king of the world cause he will love you and end your torment and that is why these people must perform meaningless tasks-and endure -not the mind but the heart of the matter!

[kuanyinpalm]

thank you for saving my life pema chodron

[makeiteasyable]

ye she is I read few of his books.

[patmos789]

subtitulos??



[StephanieLisaTara]

pema is an amazing human being. scratch that - i think she may be an angel. and she speaks so directly and accessibly that its almost odd - that she is draped in mink's robes, she could be a sister or friend. that is her magic.

[gurtis100]

i thini ive practiced this without knowing it. meaning im annoying accidentally

[hornybodhisattva]

Pema you a a goldmind of useful, helpful, liberating information!

[mffsantos]

I loved the video and shared it @ makeitabetterplaceforus.

Thanks,

Manuel Filipe Santos.

[hornybodhisattva]

this makes living with my Drama Ridden/Bulling roomate a lot more Workable and Useful!

[shamanizing]

[shamanizing]

Ken

[stephwimmerdavison]

She is so wonderful

[Varavaken]

She´s so ggod! Her teacher was Chogyam Trungpa.

[roswel1968]

so what does your fancy robe means to you?

[luyendao]

When i hear such wisdom, from my own side, i feel very happy...i reflect on myself and think, this is great, i hope I can keep this kind of wisdom going. Thank you.

[TheLogicJunkie]

DAMN is this brilliant.

[fogggygyrl]

I don't have to go out and find a Teacher, I have many people causing me trouble in my life already.

[swingtrade2]

is there oneness? if so, then no individuals. therefore no thinker, no doer.

no chicken has ever laid an egg but chickens lay eggs all day long. wei wu wei.

[MissingVoices77]

Great video!

"The job of your spiritual friend is to insult you. So you see where you need work.

[creationofself]

don't drink the punch

Seems to be suspended. Perhaps that is how they "stepped away from the system"

: D

[Mustachemr]

Pema! I"ve never seen her in motion! Love, love, love her books! Her voice is higher than I expected it to be.

[AlaskanSky]

Pema said when she first began meditating, she would sit in uncomfortable positions for hours on end until eventually she started to feel resentment towards even the specks of dust on the floor.

I thought it was pretty funny.

[Mistafiedreamz]

Trying to teach me what I have already tried in practice? I know what it is to step away from the system. I do not see many of you out there in net land, learning to control the power you hold.

[mosaicglass]

Your shenpa was aroused! : )

[mosaicglass]

How'd you step away from the system? Just curious.

[Mistafiedreamz]

The test and the message is not for me students. I have practiced what many of you assume that I have not. Learn to jack out of the system from time to time, before making assumptions.

[whotookmynickkokokai]

you still have to pay tax

[AlaskanSky]

Have read many of her books and I like her a lot. Her wisdom is very practical and down-to-earth.

"When Things Fall Apart" is a good book.

[vaandsocialmedia]

@AlaskanSky: I just came across quotes from her and that book called my attention greatly. I look forward to read it. Her simple wisdom makes my heart sing =)

[tsendzin]

thank you, at last I understand the words and actions of my first Tibetan teacher, Phakchok Rinpoche, sometimes it seemed that he asked a kind of questions in a kind of situations that would make me feel so stupid as I only can

[coolioto]

That sheds an entirely new light on my mother

[TimCubUAkbar]

Love Pema Chodron. Love, love, love Pema Chodron! She rocks.

[SangyeChoga]

lol good eye! She's just one of the only traditional Tibetan nuns left. Check her out ... the lineage is authentic and can trace back to Tibet

[MrsCogan]

this woman has saved my life. She's my true teacher.

[tremben]

"You have to learn where you're hookable ... heightened neurosis." Ayup, that's mah guhrl ... sounds like daily life at Gampo to me!

;-p

[SirTobyJuggless]

Ordinary person.Not a teacher.Just a talker.

[kaaliifire]

as a parent and a primary school teacher i know that kids and especially "problematic" kids (and their parents sometimes :o)) are my best teachers!!

they force me to stay present, alert, open, attentive, detached from my ego and identity etc. in a way that can seem brutal...

but - the gifts that they give me that im invited to unwrap and open are - precious!

pure diamonds! ;o)

[elshadiesglory]

lol wrong direction.

[man6280208]

Are you a 防弹武僧？

[Elizalu]

[pazcecipaz]

It seems I pay Mrs A to be here too (o:

Bless

[WisdomQuoteofTheDay]

Excellent information! Thank you....

[tezamysticangel]

[forgetfulmuse]

[Bardoembassy]

Pema you is lookin good and soudin - Meat and potatoes at it's best!

Love Ya, Dorje Raltri (aka) Hans Maack

[phoenixhoneybee]

this is a perspective i would never have considered...thanks so much! now i know that all the peeps who irritate me are actually helping my spiritual growth. thanks all you irritating people talking loudly on the bus on your cell phones! :)

[MissinMaddyso]

Awesome! Thank you for posting this video! Pema is a great speaker.

[IpsaPaphum]

Trubbelma Cherry.

[rankim]

is there a truth that the goofier you appear the better of a guru you become??

[guyglowmore1]

cute

[neoshamanism]

to me good teachers and a good sense of humor go hand in hand. really enjoy her. thanks for the vid.

ingrid

[littlebear1963]

Ken, thank you so much for sharing this educational vid with me. She is really inspiring and wise.

[somesunshineonline]

"...because the ego twist in the West isn't that we love ourselves too much. Rather, we tend to have a negative preoccupation with ourselves"

Pema in an interview at the Shambhala Sun site

Sun Pema google will get you there, they actually have several articles by her

[brandigirlio]

Awesome.

[docmactotosh]

She has helped me getting through difficult times and she is still doing that. I want to express all my gratitude.

[zoomflesh]

yeah pema totally rocks totaly opened my eyes to a lot of stuff

[docmactotosh]

She has helped me through very difficult times. I am grateful for her presence on this earth right now.

[zenwyo]

A good teacher. I like her.

May she live for a long time to teach further.

[Sysmatix]

Enlightment is just the state where you are your being not your ego or thinking.

[DreamingOfBaba]

She is so wise.

[ttharpa]

Thank you very much for this thought provoking message. It also serves as very good yard stick for those who are serving their Perfect Teacher.

[spiritoddity]

I am looking forward to seeing Pema at Omega (O:

[staskod]

Pema rocks.

guess we're not truly enlightened until put to the test...

[kundalinicandy]

hey you can be enlightened even if you are "hookable" enlightened doesnt mean perfect it means present in truth able to see your blind spot and be enlightened by it...each step of the way...becoming enlightened not just one day your are there...she is giving you the to become enlightened in each moment.

[vesicapisces]

If you aren't enlightened how can you know what it is - ofcourse i'm assuming you aren't.

[zoomflesh]

couldn't agree more

[Immaruka]

Nothing could be closer to the truth! I love it pema!

[dabeisyin]

yay does that mean naughtiness is enlightened behaviour? YAY!

[pappychecks]

Thank you for this

[gabecollett]

my parents have been raving about this person

i can see why

wisdom and light, luminous such as my buddy buddha geoff

[nocafeine]

i need more pema... love it

[maizembwende]

Thank you, Pema...Mindfulness is wonderful!

[EKSEGAL]

Thank-you

[hornybodhisattva]

WOW PEMA IS AWESOME! SHE IS SO DOWN TO EARTH AND LEAVES NO ROOM FOR MARTYRDOM, OR BEING HOLLIER THAN THOU! wow

very unique

[MetaphysicalSciences]

Funny! ah yes...

[hornybodhisattva]

you gotta get her teachings on itunes, get the way of the bodhisattva

[hornybodhisattva]

WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT WHAT PEMAN TEACHES IS THAT ONE CAN practice it immediatelly and see for ourselves how it works and start reaping the benefits of the teachings IMMEDIATELLY! AND IS a practice to help us see where we are stuck, others point out our blind spots, WE CAN ONLY GROW IN COMMUNITY WITH OTHERS, enlightment does not happen in isolation!

[jeremypr]

I disagree.  Enlightenment, liberation, egolessness can be attained in isolation.

[pathrhino]

Although one may become realized how can they be sure they will maintain their approach say lie when an army invades their cave?

[Tyrhonius]

That's even more of a motivation to maintain their approach!..haha..I'd rather face an army in an enlightened rather than an unenlightened state! That'll at least take the torture out of the torture!...lol

[clearlifecarol]

Pema rocks, and she is so right. The "enemy" is the friend.

[nicolatwo]

I love Pema Chodron.

[spacegypsy]

thanks for the video - wonderful!

i will put that wisdom to use...

much respect
