Pema Chodron - All in the Same Boat

www.pemachodrontapes.com. By developing unconditional friendship with ourselves, we learn to abide with our own energy and overcome fear of that which is unfamiliar. In doing so, we also see our "sameness" with others, that we are all in the same boat. Practicing this further, we develop the unconditional ability to stand in others' shoes, not causing harm, and opening our hearts for others. Excerpted from talk 2 of Pema Chodron's weekend retreat, A131: All in the Same Boat, May 2008. From Great Path Tapes and Books. gptapes@aol.com. These talks are also available on audio CD and MP3 CD.

i really need to listen to this at the moment . im so unsettled . but i will survive. i find it hard to forget the past. the negativity.

I LOVE how you emphasize the basic goodness in all. Unfortunately, this teaching is shunned by the mainstream thought...I see this beautiful truth, but it is still a tricky one to keep in the forefront of all daily activities & thoughts. I practice as soon as I feel anger, hurt, or misunderstanding...I practice seeing how it is all tied to my emotional system & the person in front of me has every intention to do the best to their own ability, & is actually a kind, dear soul here as a teacher

you're absolutely great Pema....

You helped me yesterday with the help of my teacher to not be so scared of the 'blah blahs' that can scare me.

Dear Sr Pema how lovely are your talks, i always find myself chuckling and smiling "because i get you",I contemplate the profound, i enjoy the humor, the simplicity makes the learning that much easier. It is Good to "Remember" what we already know & as example is the Highest Teacher, You are Teaching Us All how to see the Sacred that is within Everyone. : ) another word for receptive is "accomodating". Thank You For You : ) Peace
