Pema Chodron reveals the vast potential for happiness, wisdom
and courage even in the most painful circumstances. Pema Chodron
teaches that there is a fundamental opportunity for happiness right
within our reach, yet we usually miss it -- ironically, while we
are caught up in attempt to escape pain and suffering. This
accessible guide to compassionate living shows us how we can use
painful emotions to cultivate wisdom, compassion and courage, ways
of communication that lead to openness and true intimacy with
others, practices for reversing our negative habitual patterns,
methods for working with chaotic situations and ways to cultivate
compassionate, energetic social action Recently profiled in Oprah's
O magazine, Pema Chodron is a spiritual teacher for anyone --
whether they have a spiritual path or not. Her heartfelt advice and
wisdom (developed in her 20 years of practice as a Tibetan Buddhist
nun as well as her years previously as a normal 'housewife and
mother') give her a wide appeal. This advice strikes just the right
note, offering us comfort and challenging us to live deeply and
contribute to creating a more loving world.
