For more than 800 years, Tibetan Buddhists have used the principles of lojong (literally, "mind training") to transform difficulties into insights, and conflict into genuine communication. Lojong practice is grounded in a special meditation technique and complemented by 59 written maxims - a treasury of practical wisdom that inspires everyday awareness. Awakening Compassion is the first audio retreat on the practice of lojong taught by Pema Chödrön, the American-born Tibetan Buddhist nun and best-selling author. With an informal teaching style, both playful and insightful, Pema uses restful meditations in teaching the lojong way for turning painful emotions into the stepping stones to wisdom, compassion, and fearlessness.©1995 Pema Chö 24 6 Buddhism Meditation Funny Witty Alternative & Complementary Medicine

For many years I have been "finding myself" or at least trying to get a glimpse. I have read heard many authors and writers and Pema , at this point , tops them all. Her grace, humor and life stories touch me in my many ways. When I find the world closing in and my Spirit fading out, she brings me back to center.

Pema just has a way of keeping your attention focused on her teachings. Her soft, inviting voice helps you absorb and retain the information taught. Learning the Tonglen technique is something I will cherish for a lifetime and use in my daily practice.

Pema gives me help and comfort when I need it most. During some of my difficult times recently I’ve been using her slogans and practice. I’m amazed how it has helped. Standing in line, feeling horribly uncomfortable; breathing in the uncomfortableness and breathing out fresh openness. The woman in front of me turned around and complimented me on the flowers I was purchasing.
Thanks to Pema I had a wonderful exchange with the woman. That’s a minor situation in which Pema’s teachings have helped.

Pema Chodron is a true hidden treasure living right here on Canada's East Coast. She brings the Buddhist teachings to life with her colorful antics that are based on her years of experiences with the practices.

I would also say to those pondering the purchase of her audio selections, that you can't go wrong in choosing any one of her precious recordings. However, you will be missing out if you don't listen to them all.
