Pema Chodron: Dissolving the Barriers.WAV

Using a text that is very close to her heart: the Buddhist classic known as The Way of the Bodhisattva, Pema Chodron shows us how to cultivate compassion. She focuses on the enlightened heart and mind, showing us how this awakened state, which often seems infinitely far out of our grasp, is always available to us right where we are. By nurturing a compassionate attitude in our hearts, we can naturally become more open and present to others and free in our lives, even amidst life’s adversities and fears. And little by little we can become empowered to reach out beyond ourselves and heal the abundant suffering of the world.

Fearless Heart by Pema Chodron - Sample

When we have discovered our own inner purity, inner compassion, and inner love, we can then see the reflection of this purity and loving-kindness in others. But if we have not contacted these qualities within ourselves, we will see everyone as ugly and limited. For whatever we see every day in outer reality is actually nothing more than a projection of our own inner reality. - Lama Yeshe
