About this listen

 Learn how to use the gift of pain with Pema Chödrön, a Buddhist nun in the Tibetan Vajrayana tradition. She teaches that it is in suffering where you will find the seeds of your awakening and that vulnerability is actually your greatest spiritual resource. You'll learn how to create your own spiritual retreat, the key teachings necessary for cultivating your own "soft spot" - the gateway to your own noble heart, the promise of the Four Limitless Ones, and the teachings on the Six Paramitas: the Buddha's own map of the journey to enlightenment. This program was recorded within the peaceful shrine room of Gampo Abbey, Chödrön's home on the cliffs of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia.©16 9; 24 6; 1998 Darren McCain Guyaz; 1998 Pema Chö (P)1998 Darren McCain Guyaz; 24 6; 16 9; 1998 Pema Chö Buddhism Spirituality

A marvelous series of lectures with explanations, meditations and a text to help those who are ready to do a "self guided" retreat. It taught me a great deal and is so full of wisdom that I keep listening every so many weeks.

This is one of those audio books where the voice of the reader makes all the difference to how the content is experienced. I highly recommend this book for those who need an immersion in compassion!



The teachings can be absorbed by a kind of osmosis made far more accessible with Pema Chodron's warm, accepting and sonorous tones!

A very insightful audio book, presented with compassion, humour and down to earth humanity. Lots of useful lessons on how to meditate, practise and knowledge of Buddhism and it's teachings. Over nine hours but so interesting and practical it soon passes by. Lots to learn and can be used to refer back to time and again. Would highly recommend if you're curious or wanting some direction and understanding on how to start a daily practise, that will enhance and change your life for the better and of those you meet along the way. Pema is truly a gifted teacher, dedicated to her practise and a gift of love to us all.

A must listen for anyone.
