Pema Chodron

A bodhisattva is one who seeks liberation from suffering not only for themselves, but for all beings. If you were a bodhisattva, how would you respond in the face of chaos and difficulty? Is it possible to find calm in the middle of a storm? On Bodhisattva Mind, Pema Chödrön explores timeless insights and practices from the teachings of an eighth-century Buddhist classic, Shantideva's The Way of the Bodhisattva, to reveal a powerful core truth that can move us all closer to the bodhisattva ideal.

Pema Chödrön has long been associated with the practice of tonglen—a meditation practice in which we breathe in suffering and breathe out kindness and compassion. The Courage to Love the World presents some of Pema's most recent and intimate teachings on this transformative meditation practice. Recorded on retreat, this four-part series contains Pema's insightful, heartfelt, and even humorous stories about tonglen, along with direct instruction and guided practice.
