  • Only the well-off bourgeoise can stay at Gampo Abbey because they sell the Dharma for a too high price. Buddha didnt charge for the Dharma and if he had, Buddhism would have died in the fetid jungles of India.

  • i took refuge with Pema at the abbey 11 years ago now and i dont know if i have ever been in the presence of someone who radiated such a magical feeling. she truly is a remarkable person

  • This is the first time I've heard Pema Chodron speak, but I already regard her as my teacher for her books also speak to my heart and have given me guidance and huge solace following bereavement and subsequent troubled times.

  • I am doing the Being Brave Retreat here in Halifax , where I live. Pema is my teacher. The world is blessed to have her in it . It is easy to see why she is so loved ....

  • @ClawedMonet12 For me, it is Ram Dass, although Pema is a fav.

  • @drowningcreek Any recommendations on where to start?

  • If someone had asked me a year ago to name a living or dead person that I would like to meet, I would not have been able to come up with someone that I really was that interested in meeting. Now my answer would be Pema Chordron. Her teaching has made such a difference in my life!

  • I gotta get back here.

  • Beautiful post. I benefit from Pema Chodron F.B. page that I am in connection with, it brings me new thoughts, delights & challanges to work with & along side of each time they post. I have no books by Pema but will look into rectifying that, especially like the sound of 'Start Fro Where You Are' that really opens up a lot for me. Thankyou for the gift of this wonderful video. Bless you & All good things to you. x

  • What is this background chant? it is beautiful!  Is it unique to Gampo? Shambhala?
