Pema Chödrön reveals the time-tested Buddhist antidote to suffering—and shows how to apply it in your own life. The simple and elegant meditation practice known as tonglen, she teaches, is the perfect medicine for "ordinary people like ourselves." Through tonglen, we can use life's difficulties as a way to befriend ourselves, accept the past we have rejected, and widen our circle of compassion.

You are so great, Venerable. May you always live peacefully and happily.

This was lovely.

She is "very very human" indeed. There's a human typing right now, but that human doesn't teach and profit from it. This is truly the Dharma-ending age.

Eckhart Tolle might call the negativity the "pain body"

I can't believe all the negativity I am reading from people's comments. This is so base. Take what you can from her offerings - it is there for you to take. There is no need to battle it out on here with others. Her offerings are all with good intent. I think she is very gifted, so eloquent, insightful and kind. What I hear comes from her heart and it lifts me up. Thank you Pema.
