A leading exponent of teachings on meditation and how they apply to everyday life, Pema Chödrön is widely known for her insightful, down-to-earth interpretation of Tibetan Buddhism for Western audiences.

Chödrön is the resident teacher at Gampo Abbey in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the first Tibetan monastery for Westerners. An American Buddhist nun, she began studying Buddhism in the early 1970s, working closely with the renowned Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche of the Shambhala Buddhist tradition until his death in 1987. She is currently a student of Dzigar Kontrul Rinpoche. From years of study and monastic training, she addresses complex issues with a clarity that bespeaks the fruits of her practice.

Chödrön is interested in helping establish Tibetan Buddhist monastacism in the West, as well as continuing her work with Western Buddhists of all traditions, sharing ideas and teachings. She is the author of numerous books and audiobooks, including When Things Fall Apart; The Places That Scare You; The Wisdom of No Escape; Getting Unstuck; Start Where You Are; The Pema Chödrön Audio Collection; Comfortable With Uncertainty; No Time to Lose; Always Maintain a Joyful Mind (lojong teachings); and Practicing Peace in Times of War.

it's tong-len

learn how to spell

ignorant American spiritual materialist jurks

[TheOmegaInstitute]

thank you for the correction!

[jagara1]

I thin you will find that 'jurk' is in fact spelt (or spelled either is correct) 'jerk'!

[dayofideas]

because getting wrapped up in an incorrect vowel for a word being spelled outside of its original language.. that's not materialist at all, right?

[lewcifer3rd]

that was good.

[dkzeus1]

Beautiful!

[Bababyblahs]

You can NOT defeat those who conquer themselves. Peace.
